Please tell your so...Melissa, what a great project! Please tell your son that this archivist is glad to hear about his project. I would seek out the local historical society, genealogical society and also the county archive if there is one. If there is not local archive, museum or any repository that is available to you there locally. I would contact the state archives where you live and explain to them the project and ask them if they would like to have donated copies of the interviews. Hope this helps.

He would like to find a place to permanently archive them (besides making copies for the individual and their family). How would he go about finding an archive that might be interested in them?<br /><br />Melissa Corn Finlay<br />www.finlayfamily.orgMelissa Finlayhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09884436913760360447noreply@blogger.com
