Since 2003, over 50,000 people have shared life stories with family and friends through StoryCorps. Each conversation is recorded on a free CD to share and is preserved at the Library of Congress. Millions listen to StoryCorps' broadcasts on public radio and the web. StoryCorps, a revolutionary initiative to record this nation’s stories, is one of the largest oral history projects of its kind.And, StoryCorps is coming to HAMPTON ROADS, and we want you to be involved. Help us spread the word!
| What is StoryCorps? Sponsored by National Public Radio and affiliated with the Library of Congress, StoryCorps was established to create an oral history of regular citizens, allowing everyday people to preserve personal stories for their own families, and for future generations to hear. Participants reserve an hour-long recording session at our StoryBooth to interview someone they know- loved ones, friends, or members of their community. At the end of the session, the participants receive a CD copy to take home, and, with their permission, another copy will be archived at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. |
