QUEENS COLLEGE GSLIS AND QUEENS MEMORY PRESENT: AN ORAL HISTORY WORKSHOP

Queens Memory is an oral history program at Queens Library and Queens College whose mission is to record contemporary life in the borough of Queens. To do this, the program offers training and support to volunteers interested in conducting interviews with the borough’s residents, and photographing Queens’ dynamic events and places.

Since the founding of the Queens Memory program in 2010, the Queens Memory team has provided oral history and digitization instruction to hundreds of New Yorkers interested in conducting interviews and documenting their communities.
