Dear colleagues,
List members may be interested in Angela Zusman's new book, Story Bridges: A Guide for Conducting Intergenerational Oral History Projects. Please excuse cross-postings. Thanks!
Many museum professionals are looking for ways to engage more young people in their activities. One excellent approach is through oral history. In this book, Angela Zusman offers an informative guidebook with step-by-step directions for planning and implementing intergenerational oral history projects, using youth to interview elders. An expert on these programs, Zusman uses her experiences and those of other oral historians to show how community projects are organized, youthful historians located and trained, interviews conducted, and the project archived for future community needs. Included are a variety of sample documents and case studies designed to ease the process for the uninitiated.
"This is the most readable text on oral history I've seen. Ms. Zusman draws on her experience working with youth oral history projects and weaves real life anecdotes into a very clear set of steps for planning and conducting an intergenerational oral history project. All topics are covered, so anyone should be able to pick up the book and follow through it to conduct a successful project. A delight to read and a wealth of information." -Nancy MacKay, author of Curating Oral Histories
