About This Project

Summary

Elders Project is an oral history initiative that captures and preserves stories from underrepresented American elders. Inspired by the 1930s Federal Writers' Project, it continues the tradition of highlighting marginalized voices. Since 2022, ten writers have conducted interviews across diverse U.S. communities. The project also documents photos and letters, focusing on themes of identity, geography, and migration, ensuring these unique perspectives are preserved for future generations.

Goals & Objectives

Elders Project aims to collect and preserve the narratives of underrepresented American elders, highlighting themes of identity, geography, and migration and ensuring the acknowledgment and preservation of unique perspectives. The goal is to show them in a user-friendly and easily accessible way.

Results & Impact

Elders Project captures stories and memorabilia, fosters cultural understanding, raises awareness, and bridges generational gaps, ensuring these unique voices are valued and remembered.
