Straight Talk: Oral History for Family Historians

By Wyatt Winnie

Please join us Saturday July 19th for our monthly meeting featuring Wyatt Winnie, Millsaps College Librarian. His presentation will focus on best practices for interviewing family members, tips for equipment, creating questionnaires, and preparing for the interview itself.

Wyatt Winnie is the College Librarian at Millsaps College. He also manages the Millsaps College Archives, The J.B. Cain Archives of Mississippi Methodism. Some of his past projects with the T. Harry Williams Center for Oral History led him to love and appreciate the art of oral history. 

So join us July 19th for the how and why you should sit down for some straight talk with your loved ones. This event is open to the public.   For those who cannot join us in person, the Zoom link is below.

MGS generally meets on the third Saturday of most months.  Previously, we met in January, March, May, September, and November.  Now, we are adding meetings in every month except December.  These meetings will tend to be skills-building and planning sessions.
