Oral History Program
Self Evident is launching an oral history training and archiving program to amplify the voices and stories of Asian Americans. Community Producer Rochelle Kwan and Designer Jen Ng have been working with educators countrywide to build the pilot program. We aim to create a platform that has a long-term impact on the teachings and access to Asian American history for present and future generations.
Designed for all experience levels, our Oral History Toolkit will equip you with the tools to create your own oral history! Through virtual, work-at-your-own-pace lessons, our Toolkit walks you through the full process of an oral history interview from start to finish, including skills ranging from relationship-building with narrators, conducting interviews, and recording audio for upload to our digital Story Archive. Your finished piece will be one of the first entries in our digital archive, an ever-growing resource of Asian American experiences.
