Proposed Measurable Outcome(s)
The library's Foundation has purchased a recorder that is available for checkout and we hope to see its usage increase as comfort with the equipment grows. We hope that our attendees gain confidence in using the recorder and that more oral history projects are taken on in our community to preserve history for generations to come.
Measurable Outcome(s)
Those in attendance felt that they had the knowledge needed to use the oral history recorder and are looking forward to using it with friends and family. Participant evaluation and anecdotal responses were collected
