How do audio recordings from folklife collections elevate everyday life as a valuable source of knowledge? This session will introduce the kinds of cultural documentation included at Vermont Folklife's Archive and focus on archival sound as a unique type of primary source. Participants will hear a selection of interview excerpts focused on Vermont farming and foodways, part of Teaching with Folk Sources, a Library of Congress Teaching with Primary Sources project. The session will also offer activities and resources that encourage the use of oral history interviews, both as a record and as part of critical inquiry for learners of all ages.

Part of the 69th Annual Meeting of the League of Local Historical Societies & Museums, hosted by the Vermont Historical Society.
