The oral histories project
The Oral Histories Project is more than an archival endeavor; it's a living dialogue between generations.
By recording the personal experiences, insights, and reflections of Baltimore's residents, we aim to create a repository of voices that resonate with authenticity and depth. These stories—from the triumphant to the tragic, from the everyday to the extraordinary—highlight the resilience, creativity, and spirit of Baltimore's communities.
Online Archive
A digital platform where visitors can listen to the stories, explore thematic collections, and discover the people behind the voices.
Live listening sessions and discussions that bring people together to share, reflect, and celebrate Baltimore's diverse narratives.
Community Events
Tools and materials for schools and organizations to integrate these oral histories into learning and engagement activities, fostering a deeper understanding of Baltimore's heritage.
Educational Resources
Preserving Baltimore's oral histories is a community effort.
Support for this project enables us to record more stories, expand our outreach, and ensure these voices are heard by future generations. Consider donating or volunteering to be part of this vital work.
