Cynthia,

I have seen many oral histories (both written and video projects) as part of
the National History Day competitions.  If you haven't heard of it, check
with your local school district, or go to www.nationalhistoryday.org.  I
also saw something in the local paper this week (Pittsburgh Post-Gazette)
about a student who interviewed local Holocaust survivors and turned it into
a video that has been shown at several other schools, but of course I can't
find the article now.

 Hi Everyone -

 Do you know of a project in which high school students conducted oral
histories or photographed/videotaped within their communities - and the end
product of this research was an exhibit or video production?  If so, I'd
love to know about it!

Please reply to the list.

Thanks!
