The Smithsonian’s Museum on Main Street (MOMS) was recently awarded a grant to engage underserved, rural youth in using technology to capture local stories related to the MOMS’ Journey Stories exhibit. As part of the grant, I will join another scholar as we conduct workshops in oral history methods for teachers, students and museum staff around Maryland. I’m looking forward to working on this project as it seeks to reach a younger audience with a product they can share with the local community and national audience via the Smithsonian’s “Stories from Main Street” on-line resource.
