The Wisconsin Story Project will have its Wisconsin Story Booth inside Memorial Library (west corridor, meaning no need to show ID to get to it) from Monday, August 23, through Sunday, August 29. Wisconsin Story Project’s booth is a portable video recording studio, and both WSP and the Libraries want to get folks, who were here in August 1970, to come and record their strongest memory, thought, or story about the Sterling Hall Bombing. While the WSP will use parts of these recordings, along with other archival material, to craft a future public presentation, the Libraries will archive the videos for future generations to use. If interested in volunteering to facilitate gathering the stories, please contact me (Troy). If interested in telling your story, please come to Memorial Library between 9 and 6 on 8/23 to 8/29.
Speaking of Wisconsin Story Project, Mike Lawler from the WSP will present at our next meeting, August 27 at 3:30 pm at 126 Memorial Library. As with our meeting last summer, we will meet jointly with the Madison Oral History Roundtable. And as with every meeting, post-meeting meeting will be held at the Terrace or Rat (depending on weather).
Last, (and thanks to Ellen Jacks for her work on this project) we have 3 presentations, including Todd Moye’s keynote, online from this year’s 2010 WI OH Day. Goto http://archives.library.wisc.edu/oral-history/news.html then scroll down a touch until you see the three podcasts. As you can see on that page, we also have a link to Stephen Sloan’s 2009 WI OH Day keynote. Also, I have decided to forgo the 2011 WI OH Day event. Due to some changes around here, I do not feel I have the time to do the event the justice it deserves. I swear as long as I am here in 2012 (and I do not why I would be elsewhere), there will be a 2012 WI OH Day.
Hope to see many of you at the 8/27 meeting. For those I don’t see, I wish you all a great remaining weeks of summer!
Troy
