Measurable Outcome(s)

The short term impacts were achieved . We will make an announcement to the congregation about the completion of the project and the availability of the interviews within the next 6 weeks, based on availability of all personnel involved.

Intermediate term: A log book will be created in the library as well as with IAM to document the number of requests for the interviews. Moderate to heavy usage of the oral histories will document a success. We will also note the increase in diversity in our congregation as a measurement of the outreach of the project.
