About the Oral History Project:
Digitized audio recordings, made 10 to 35 years ago, are being prepared for uploading to the Minnesota Digital Library. To get them ready, we are preparing the meta data and reviewing draft transcripts. Each transcript needs updating so that it accurately reflects what was said during the interview. Transcripts are in Google Docs or MS Word format. Audio recordings are .WAV files. We seek volunteers willing to listen to a recording, compare the audio to the draft transcript, and suggest corrections. Interested? Please let us know at [email protected].
