Participating in U of L Oral History Workshop

The University of Louisville recently held an Oral History Workshop where Crane House executive director, Bryan Warren and project member, Tuan Vu, were among the participants. The event had a distinguished roster of speakers in the field of oral history such as Tracy K'Meyer, U of L Chair of the History Department and Co-Director of U of L's Oral History Center, Michael Frisch (left), creator of Randforce. Randforce is an organization focused on advancing oral history scholarship and public practice in the digital age. Frish is also a professor of American Studies and History/Senior Research Scholar at the University at Buffalo, SUNY.

During the five-hour event, Tuan and Bryan shared with participants the Vietnamese Oral History Project and were able to extract a handsome amount of useful information and tips. Frisch also stopped by Crane House to view our exhibit. He gave positive feedback, suggested an archival mechanism for interviews, and exchanged stories of his experience with other oral history projects.
