The Dover Adult Learning Center has joined forces with a dedicated group of volunteers looking to produce an Oral, Written and Video History Project containing people’s reminiscences of the local area. Weaving stories told by local citizens and intertwined with photographs and live footage, the group seeks to generate a multimedia history of the “greater Dover” area through the eyes of those who lived here from 1939 to the present. The committee is seeking additional members who have in interest in local history, experience with fundraising, or abilities in videography, interviewing, grant-writing, editing and publicity. There are many organizational chores needed to make this project a reality. The Oral History Steering Committee meets monthly at the McConnell Center and the next meeting will be Wednesday, August 6 from 5-6pm. Persons interested in getting involved or contributing memories are asked to contact Beth Fischer at erfischer@verizon.net or call Cathy Beaudoin at the Dover Public Library, 516-6050 before September 1.
