We’re Building an Audio time capsule of san diego!
You’re invited to help us tell the story.
The City of San Diego is partnering with StoryCorps Studios. StoryCorps is a national nonprofit that helps us believe in each other by illuminating the humanity and possibility in us all – one story at a time. Since 2003, StoryCorps has given over half a million Americans the chance to record interviews about their lives. StoryCorps preserves the recordings at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress.
If you are a member of the San Diego community, we invite you to choose someone you care about and record an interview together.
Ask and answer questions like:
- What does it mean to be “from” San Diego?
- What do you wish more people knew about San Diego?
- How does your community support each other?
- What does your future hold for our community?
There’s no “right” or “wrong” way to have a StoryCorps conversation. But, if you need an example to get started, listen to the conversation in the video on the right-hand column. You can use the free StoryCorps Connect online platform to record in the comfort of your own home. All you need is a strong internet connection, access to a laptop or desktop computer with a microphone, and an open heart.
