"They are here to help you interview your grandmother, your uncle, the lady who's worked at the luncheonette down the block for as long as you can remember-anyone whose story you want to hear and preserve. To start, they are building soundproof recording studios across the country, called StoryBooths. You can use these StoryBooths to record broadcast-quality interviews with the help of a trained facilitator. The first StoryBooth opened in New York City's Grand Central Terminal on October 23, 2003. They also have two traveling recording studios, called MobileBooths Interview are added to the StoryCorps Archive, housed at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress, which we hope will become nothing less than an oral history of America. StoryCorps is modeled -in spirit and in scope-after the Works Progress Administration (WPA) of the 1930s, through which oral-history interviews with everyday Americans across the country were recorded. These recordings remain the single most important collection of American voices gathered to date. We hope that StoryCorps will build and expand on that work, becoming a WPA for the 21st Century." http://www.storycorps.net I like Storycorps – US national project to instruct and inspire people to record each others’ stories in sound.
