The webinar discussed the "100 Voices of Route 66" project by the Illinois State Museum, focusing on transforming oral histories into a museum exhibit. The session was hosted by Erika Holst, Curator of History, and Amanda Bryden, Registrar. The project, funded by a National Park Service grant, aimed to collect 100 oral histories about Route 66. Starting with limited resources and experience, they navigated challenges like identifying and interviewing narrators. Initially relying on Judy Wagenblast for outreach, the team expanded their search through various channels including social media and historical societies. The discussions highlighted not just the logistical challenges but also the personal stories and themes that emerged from the interviews, such as travel experiences, socioeconomic impacts, and cultural memories from diverse perspectives. Hosting in-person interviews posed technological challenges, which the team addressed with adaptive solutions like portable Wi-Fi and equipment adjustments. The project faced constraints, including a deadline for completing interviews, but the use of TheirStory streamlined transcription and indexing processes, allowing for a focus on meaningful engagement with narrators. The museum transformed these stories into an exhibit featuring audio clips, photos, and artifacts, creating an immersive experience that resonated with visitors. The project also became a resource for scholars and media outlets, highlighting its educational and cultural value. Reflecting on the project, Amanda and Erika emphasized the privilege of connecting with narrators, the value of starting despite uncertainties, and lessons learned, like pacing interviews for clarity in recording. The exhibit and its impact underscore the importance of storytelling in preserving and celebrating cultural history.
