The Heritage Society Oral History Workshop is Tuesday, April 4 at 9:30 AM at the Heritage Society Tea Room, 1100 Bagby between Lamar and Dallas. We will teach attendees how to facilitate oral histories and follow the guidelines of our Neighbor to Neighbor Oral History Program that contributes audio oral history files to the Houston Metropolitan Research Center, Houston Public Library and the Woodson Research Center, Fondren Library, Rice University. We will also have handouts for the attendees and recommendations on where to find good interview subjects to help with our goal to preserve the stories of the greater Houston area. Attendees should bring note taking supplies for their own use. The workshop is free but requires an email notification as to who will be attending at mvance@heritagesociety.org
