Sponsored by National Public Radio and affiliated with the Library of Congress, StoryCorps was established to create an oral history of regular citizens, allowing everyday people to preserve personal stories for their own families, and for future generations to hear.Participants reserve an hour-long recording session at our StoryBooth to interview someone they know- loved ones, friends, or members of their community.At the end of the session, the participants receive a CD copy to take home, and, with their permission, another copy will be archived at the AmericanFolklifeCenter at the Library of Congress.
For two months this Spring, Idahoans told their
stories in the mobile StoryCorps booth in Boise.
Now, the Idaho StoryCorps Project is coming to an end.
Join us Friday, August 29th as the Idaho
StoryCorps Project wraps up. Listen for a special half hour program
beginning at 6 PM on NPR News 91.5
