YARMOUTH — The Yarmouth History Center and with the Oral History and Folklife Research Inc. will conduct a workshop 10 a.m. to 2 p.m. Saturday, Oct. 26.
Topics will include definitions and goals of an oral history and setting up a project, including what equipment is needed, interviewing skills, practice interviews and more.
Oral history is an effective means of capturing a history that cannot be found in traditional records. Recorded interviews can be archived and preserved for future researchers giving voice to a sector of the community that might not otherwise be represented.
The cost for the workshop is $10 for members of the Yarmouth Historical Society and $15 for nonmembers. The Yarmouth History Center is located at 118 East Elm Street, Yarmouth.
