SmugMug > keywords > mcgowan > StoryCorps is a national project designed "to inspire and enable people to record each others' stories in sound." It was founded in 2003 by the radio documentary producer David Isay. Its Web site states that the organization wants "to help you interview your grandmother, your uncle, the lady who's worked at the luncheonette down the block for as long as you can remember—anyone whose story you want to hear and preserve." StoryCorps does not present an exhibition with specific content, but rather offers an experience in history: the program provides a venue for people to interview one another. StoryCorps archives the resulting recordings at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. The program models itself after an activity of the Works Progress Administration (WPA) of the 1930s, the federal project that recorded oral history interviews with average Americans across the nation. Calling the wpa oral histories "the single most important collection of American voices gathered to date," StoryCorps seeks to become a wpa project for the twenty-first century.
