Recording Family History


Family portrait

Atlas Obscura points out that sheltering in place with family could give you the opportunity to learn more about your family and collect oral histories. To that end, they talked to four oral history project coordinators about how to have respectfully engage in these discussions. These might be great tips if you’ve ever hoped to write a family history.
