Story Of America

StoryCorps is a national project to instruct and inspire people to record each others' stories in sound. They will 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.

They are building soundproof recording booths across the country, called StoryBooths. You can use these StoryBooths to record broadcast-quality interviews with the help of a trained facilitator. The first StoryBooths opened in New York City's Grand Central Terminal on October 23, 2003.They also have two traveling recording studios, called MobileBooths, which embarked on cross-country tours on May 19, 2005. They have launched two blogs for the MobileBooths, which are on cross-country tours. Read the MobileBooth West blog and the MobileBooth East blog.
