Reviews for Story Bridges: A Guide for Conducting Intergenerational Oral History Projects

"This is the most readable text on oral history I've seen. Ms. Zusman draws on her experience working with youth oral history projects and weaves real life anecdotes into a very clear set of steps for planning and conducting an intergenerational oral history project. All topics are covered, so anyone [teachers, community workers, librarians, or senior citizen program coordinators] should be able to pick up the book and follow through it to conduct a successful project. A delight to read and a wealth of information." - Nancy MacKay, author of Curating Oral Histories
