Dear Friends,

Oral History Workshop

Preserving the memories and history of the Lebanese-American community is a vital matter. For this reason, the Khayrallah Center is offering a free two-day workshop on the methodology, theory, and practice of oral history. This will take place on NC State University campus April 24-26, 2015. The goal of the workshop is to provide amateur oral historians with the training to conduct interviews within their own communities.
