Hello, all:
I hope you all have had a wonderful winter so far. I email to give you the link to the program for the 2010 WI Oral History Day, which will be held March 28 & 29 in Milwaukee.
http://www.slis.wisc.edu/continueed/oralhist/
Thanks to the folks at the UW--Madison Library School (their Continuing Education Services) for their work building the webpage.
The webpage has our "Why WI Oral History Day" document, the program for both days, and the registration form. There is a registration fee for those folks who will attend Monday's event to offset the cost of lunch. If you don't want lunch on Monday, don't pay but do register. (There will be refreshments provided at the Sunday event and Monday morning, which is why even if you do not want lunch on Monday, we need you to register to give us a head count for both days.) And as with last year, early registrants will receive a free book. Also, as you will see on the form, we do NOT have web registration or take credit cards (someday will nudge into the 21st Century), so attendees need to follow the directions on how to get the registration fee ($12) to the appropriate place (me) by March 22.
The one thing the website does not have this year is a list of restaurants/lodging in the UW--Milwaukee campus area. I assume most folks, except me and our keynote speaker of course, are not staying Sunday night, or they know the area well enough to know where to stay and/or eat. If I hear otherwise from folks, I'll see what I can do about getting and posting a document with lodging/restaurant tips.
That's all for now. I will duplicate this post on our blog, wisconsinoralhistoryday.blogspot.com. The blog also has other news/notes that I do not always send on this email. Translation: check it out!

UW--Madison Campus Voices
Thanks for monies from the Brittingham Fund, we will spend the spring and summer semester repackaging existing content from three oral history projects in our collection. The first project is the "TAA Strike, 1970," and by early April at the latest, we will publish a podcast, a mini-movie, and iTunes album with the voices, images, and documents relating to this campus event. The podcast will either be hosting here or on another blog. We'll keep you posted. For more information, you can contact Troy Reeves at treeves@library.wisc.edu.
