Reflections on Oral History Project

I think that my favorite part of the Oral History Project was the actual interviewing part. It was really fun to go to the Chocolate Bar and interviewing Gilbert Johnson there because we could look around us and see exactly what he was talking about. We wouldn't of been able to do that if we had interviewed him at his home. I think that my least favorite part of the project was doing the research beforehand because I feel like I wasn't as interested in the project since I didn't know Gilbert Johnson.
Once we met him and did the interview it was a lot more interesting. I think that if I could change anything about the project it would be how we structured the splitting up the transcriptions because I feel like it was complicated waiting for everyone's transcriptions. I don't really have that much of an opinion on whether we do an oral history project again. It was fun, but it wouldn't be sad if we didn't do it again.

  1. Yeah, I am seeing quite a bit of people thinking that we should reconsider how we split up the transcription. Thanks for your feedback. I am glad that the interview was such a great experience!
