I’m happy to say that I have another oral history narrator signed up! Only one week and already two narrators! This woman was a long-time Auxiliary member and helped to create the Auxiliary’s first Garden Fair, now in its 49th year and Edgewood’s primary fundraising event. I can’t wait to interview her and learn more about the origins of the Fair and how it evolved. I’ll get to work on writing questions for her soon. I need to do some research first.
I’m continuing to dig around for historical materials and have uncovered a lot in the last week (post coming soon). I know it’s only a couple of weeks into the semester, but I’m starting to feel a little overwhelmed with everything that needs to get done. I’ve uncovered far more historical records than I originally thought I would – a good problem to have – and need to hurry up finishing the survey so I can get started on my inventorying and digitizing. The oral history project is an entirely different story that also needs a lot of attention.
But even though I feel like this sometimes 
I know that it will all be worthwhile!
