History lives inside us and whether it’s an older neighbor, a friend or a relative, each has a personal story that gives us insight into a time and a place in the past. NPR’s popular StoryCorps project inspired many of us to talk with someone we know and record our conversation to preserve for the future. The holidays are an ideal time to sit down with someone and find out about their history. VPR’s Jane Lindhom talks with Gregory Sharrow of the Vermont Folklife Center about the art – and the value – of collecting oral histories.
