Have you heard StoryCorps<\/a>’s riveting recordings of people with fascinating tales to tell? On June 11th and 12th at the Center for Jewish History, we’ll give you a chance to preserve your family history on professionally produced audio. Don’t miss the rare opportunity to work with this revolutionary oral-history project! There are just a few recordings each day. To request a spot, please email\u00a0gievents@cjh.org<\/a> with your name, contact information and availability from 10 a.m. to 5 p.m. on both days. It can be a life-changing experience–and your ancestors will thank you. We’re located at 15 West 16th St. in New York City.<\/p>\n

Each lucky storyteller will go home with a free CD recording of his or her 40-minute session. What’s more, the oral histories will be preserved both at the Center and at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress<\/a>. As you know if you’ve heard the StoryCorps series on NPR<\/a>, the interviews are usually conversations between two people who know each other, so feel free to bring a friend or family member to join in. <\/p>\n

We’re thrilled to host this event as part of our series of free events, “Family History Today,” at the Center through June 22. Here’s the full schedule of events<\/a>, including personal genealogy consultations, family-history workshops, illuminating talks and more<\/span><\/span>. The Center’s newly opened Ackman & Ziff Family Genealogy Institute makes family-history research easier than ever. Even if you don’t snag a StoryCorps spot, you’ll get the chance to have a one-on-on consultation with an expert genealogist, free of charge.<\/span><\/span><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
