Treasured Stories: Collecting and Sharing Treasure Island Oral Histories 1997-Present

Treasured Stories: Treasure Island Oral Histories 1997-Present highlights the work and experiences of those who have made the island a refuge for positive change. In response to this need, One Treasure Island, in partnership with the Treasure Island Museum, launched an oral history project formally documenting the experiences of those who have lived or worked on the island over the last 24 years. A panel representing the “Treasured Stories” project team will discuss the process of: contacting participants; preparing for and conducting interviews; creating interview transcripts and curating participant quotes; designing and producing portraits; and creating a public exhibit of the oral histories.
