Hello,
We’re emailing to introduce you to our efforts to build a statewide
network
of those interested in oral history.
Some of you might recall that Troy Reeves led efforts several years ago to
hold a one-day event, called the Wisconsin Oral History Day. While this
network could end up holding an event similar to the ones held in the
springs of 2008, 2009, and 2010, we don’t intend to start with a on
e-day
event.
Instead, we’re sending a short survey to allow us to see who might
be
interested in collaborating with us as we move our ideas forward. We built
this brief questionnaire to start to identify who has collections of oral
history, as well as who has interest in conducting new oral history
projects. The results we receive from this survey will guide future
efforts, such as training guides, collection directories, a planned day of
action to support oral history collections, and/or a general support system
.

We understand that you all have many other things during your day. We hope,
however, that you will take a few moment to fill out this assessment. For
those who do fill out the survey, we will be back in touch later this year
with an update.
Thank you for your time.
Sincerely,
Troy Reeves, UW Madison
