What's New? March 2025

Pride Storytelling Project cohort updates

We get a March update from the cohort and our guest oral history project facilitator, Makaela, who led a technical-focused session about the ethics and practice of oral history transcription and archiving so that our documentation effort is most accessible for future generations. Thank you for sharing your expertise and learnings!
