NOHA Oral History Conference–March 6, 2015

February 15, 2015 by NOHA

Please join NOHA on March 6, 2015, for a full day of oral history sessions at the Seattle Public Library.  The conference is free and will be held in conjunction with the Pacific Northwest Historians Guild Conference.  If you are new to the field or want to refresh your skills, come to the basic oral training session in the morning.  The afternoon program is open to everyone and includes presentations by oral historians from throughout the Northwest who will discuss their innovative projects and new ideas for using your interviews.  A collaborative session to share more information with your colleagues will follow. See the full program below. If you plan to leave an order for our cheap article writing service, it's better to be succinct and clear in details.

We will be holding a meeting of NOHA members following the workshop and ask you to bring ideas for how the organization can meet your needs.

There is no charge for the conference, but please let us know you are coming by registering online at the Pacific Northwest Historians Guild website.  Walk-ins will be welcome. You can also order a box lunch or bring your own.      https://docs.google.com/forms/d/197u2m72CGvbs808myHV0Jg5KsZqc4pN8IagVpQuXw1k/viewform

Plan to come on Saturday, March 7th, for the annual Pacific Northwest Historians Guild conference.  Under the theme of The Urban Northwest in Landscape and Story, the day will include presentations on a variety of Northwest history topics.

Tell your friends and colleagues about the conference and please join us on March 6th and 7th.  If you need more information, please contact Sherry Boswell at [email protected]
