Preserving History, One Voice at a Time
Tuesday, October 25, 10:00 a.m. CT
Sara Wilson, Oral History Program, University of North Texas
Oral histories preserve the voices and experiences of the past, and gathering these valuable histories is both a science and an art. Are you new to collecting oral histories and are unsure where to start? Whether your interest in oral histories is personal or professional, you'll learn best practices for before, during, and after the recording of an oral history and will leave with practical steps to guide you through the process.

Can Organizations Center Community in their Volunteer Strategies?
Tuesday, November 15, 10:00 a.m. CT
Emily Dobish and Mar?a Islas-L?pez, History Colorado
Emily and Maria
History organizations have a long tradition of volunteer involvement in their work. This presentation will provide a practice-based illustration of the possibilities for centering community needs in your volunteer strategies. Attendees will consider these questions:
* Who are the volunteers that are contributing to the work in your organizations?
* Who is included? Who is excluded?
* What is the relationship between volunteerism and community engagement, particularly racial equity work?
Prior to attending the webinar, attendees are encouraged to read this article [ [link removed] ], written for AALSH's "History News" by the presenters.
