Michigan library working to rescue thousands of stories from gathering dust

The article from MLive discusses the efforts of the Grand Rapids Public Library in Michigan to digitize and preserve thousands of oral histories that have been collected over the years. These stories, which cover a wide range of topics from personal life experiences to significant historical events, were at risk of being lost as the physical media they were recorded on deteriorated. The library has embarked on a project to transfer these recordings to digital formats, ensuring they are accessible to future generations. The initiative not only aims to save these valuable narratives but also to make them available online, allowing people from around the world to explore Michigan's rich oral history. Volunteers and staff are working together to catalog and transcribe the stories, highlighting the community's commitment to preserving its cultural heritage.
