During the COVID-19 pandemic, a neat community engagement exercise that I have been doing with some of my family members has been recording videos for a new project hosted by StoryCorps called StoryCorps Connect.
As I describe in my video below, the StoryCorps Connect platform allows you to to record an interview with a loved one remotely using video conference technology. This is a great way to connect and learn more about people in your family.
More About StoryCorps Connect
Developed in March 2020 in response to the COVID-19 pandemic, StoryCorps Connect is a first-of-its kind platform that enables you to record a StoryCorps interview with a loved one remotely using video conference technology. The audio and a still photo from each interview goes into our archive at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. Your interview can become part of American history, and hundreds of years from now, future generations will listen in.
