Oral Histories Map

Mar 4, 2021

Brian Kraft created the Washington DC Oral History Map through a grant from the DC Oral History Collaborative. The intention is to collect and better organize online histories and make them more accessible to the public. Use the black button on the right side of the map to open the map in a new tab. Zoom and pan around the map. Click a point to get a pop-up, then click the link to the online oral history. The oral history might be a transcript, video, or audio recording.
