Story Gathering Workshop
Wednesday, May 14 at 5 p.m. at Circle Pines City Hall

The process of creating a community legacy story that will survive well into the future takes many hands and plenty of time. One way we can include more stories is by using volunteers to sit down with a neighbor or friend, ask some questions, and record the answers. Join us on May 14 from 5-7 p.m. at Circle Pines City Hall when the Anoka County Historical Society will present a story gathering workshop to give you the tools you need. Home can mean many things to many people. Trying to describe that idea usually requires telling a few stories of experiences that shaped the community everyone shares. The first portion of the workshop will explain how to conduct an oral history, including the types of questions to ask, recording devices to use, and how to transcribe the stories gathered. The second portion will be a hands-on workshop where attendees can practice these newly acquired skills with special guests in attendance.
