It’s part of the cross-country tour of a project called StoryCorps, and it’s the largest oral history undertaking in history. Two StoryCorps mobile booths began a national tour in Washington, D.C., on May 19. One will be parked in front of the main entrance of the Central Library in Medford from Oct. 20 through Nov. 7. Begun in 2004, the project collected more than 2,000 stories in its first year and expects to collect more than 250,000 interviews over the next 10 years. About 100 stories will be added to the archive from the Medford stop. The StoryCorps touring MobileBooth offers participants the opportunity to record the stories and voices of friends and loved ones. People participate in pairs, one interviewing the other. A facilitator will guide people through the process and handle the technical side. Reservations are for 40-minute sessions. Participants will get a CD to take home. With their permission, interviews will be sent into the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress to be preserved. There’s a suggested donation of $10. To make a reservation for a StoryCorps recording session, visit www.ijpr.org, or call (800) 850-4406.
