Shenandoah Valley Oral History Project |

|
|
In 2005 the JMU History Department initiated the Shenandoah
Valley Oral History Project
under the direction of Dr.
Daniel Kerr. Using high quality digital recording
equipment, students have conducted and transcribed dozens of
interviews with people whose histories have largely gone
untold. Students have interviewed poultry farmers and
processing workers, labor and civil rights activists, Native
Americans, Latino immigrants, ex-offenders, homeless people, gays,
lesbians and bisexuals throughout Shenandoah Valley.
These interviews will be archived with Carrier Library and are now available via the internet. Students taking the course Oral History and Social Justice explore ways to make this material accessible to the public through the production of pamphlets, radio documentaries and websites. |
