Oral History Workshop

The Citadel Oral History Program, the South Carolina Historical Society and the Low Country Oral History Alliance invite the public to participate in an oral history workshop on Saturday, December 5th from 10:00 am – 3:00 pm at The Citadel in Bond Hall room 165.

Teachers, community activists, genealogists, and high school and college students are encouraged to attend. Space is limited and pre-registration is highly encouraged.

Your $5 donation will defray the cost of lunch.

This interactive workshop, led by staff from the SC Historical Society and The Citadel Oral History Program, will cover each aspect of the oral history process, including project planning, interview strategies, recording technology, and archiving. The program will be of value to those involved in family or community projects that are well underway and those in the planning stages.

The Citadel is located at 171 Moultrie Street in Charleston (near Joseph P. Riley Park).
