So far there are 4,000 staff-collected video oral histories, 3,000 video and audio recordings made by others, and nearly 2,000 "written histories" like journals, diaries that can be photographed, annotated and transcribed for online research.
The museum's six historians travel widely, scheduling at least four interviews per trip. Afterwards, they add catalog information, including a short description of contents and when and where the interviews were made. They annotate key words most likely to be searched.
Now, this is a job I would really love. Just cover my expenses, I don't need to be paid. Researching is obviously a big love of mine. And, the chance to get to talk to and record these people.
Wow, I Could Really Go For That Job!! --GreGen
The USS North Carolina (BB-55) My all-time favorite warship. As an elementary school student in North Carolina, I donated nickels and dimes to save this ship back in the early sixties.
