Presentation!

Things are rolling right along at UMass- still going through all of the boxes. The real big news is our presentation happening in the Loomis Village auditorium on September 15! It starts at 2:30pm and should go for about an hour, depending on how long the Q&A session goes for.

Molly and I will be talking about what this project entails from each of our standpoints. She will be going over oral histories, both in general and the ones that she has done at Loomis so far. I will be sharing a lot of the story that has been posted on this blog; where everything has been coming from and the process up in the archives at UMass. All are welcome to attend!

The fact remains that this project is still in its' early stages. We can talk about what we've done so far, but we'll also be asking for people who are interested to help out with finding more materials and taking more oral histories. One person on the history committee already recommended doing an I.D. party . . . we have a lot of albums full of photos but most of them are unidentified. That's what this is all about! So come to the presentation, bring your friends and get excited about this archive!
