Expected Results:
The results of this project will be evaluated through the number of oral history recordings completed, the number of transcripts completed, the number of recordings made accessible online, and the number of records preserved for long term digital preservation. Project staff will do regular check-ins throughout the process to ensure that the project is progressing according to plan. Likewise, recordings and transcripts will be spot-checked for completeness and accuracy.
