Whether all together for the holiday or scheduling the reunion over Zoom, you can get that #FamilyFolklore recorded for the future! Here are a few tips for an #OralHistory interview - capture secret-ingredient recipes, Grandma's favorite dance moves or tales of immigration.
😎Keep it Real - family history is a living part of a family, best captured during everyday activities. Feeling informal gets the best results.
🖼️Give Props - letters, photo albums, scrapbooks, home movies, and other family treasures help jog memories! So get out heirlooms!
🗺️Have a Plan - but don't be afraid to let your interview go off on a tangent. You might learn something totally unexpected. Keep tissues handy for joys and sorrows.
🎥Record it - Try video recording, either in person or using an online video conferencing platform.
