Library Support for the Project
The library team for the oral history project is comprised of Jenny Innes, Public Services Librarian, Systems Librarian Veronica Kenausis and Library Systems Assistant Brian Kennison. This team will provide guidance for the capture, preservation, description and distribution of the oral histories. This may include metadata structures, encoding practices for text and audio, and interface design. Oral histories stored in this digital repository will be searchable across multiple fields, such as subject/topic, name, time period, and location.
