Becky's Zoom Room

Our guest this month is Helen Dagley, who will talk about a really cool new project you can be involved in-a follow-up to our 2019 programs "Earth’s Bounty in Iowa: Then and Now."

We need your help with an oral history project, in which participants tell their own stories about growing up on a farm in Iowa.  These recorded narratives will focus on the firsthand experiences of ordinary Iowans, rather than coming from a historical or scholarly perspective.   We hope to add additional recordings and  transcripts to Earth’s Bounty in Iowa: Then and Now on the IHDC website.  https://www.iowaheritage.org/

Come to find out more about how you can be involved in this oral history project.
