____________________________________________________. Story Corps was inspired by the oral histories of Americans collected by the federal Works Projects Administration of the 1930s. To record their twenty-first century stories, participants can go to a StoryBooth, a mini recording studio set up in a busy part of a major city. StoryCorps travels the country to set up booths and lists the current schedule on its website. Conversations are generally recorded as interviews between two people who are close to each other. Facilitators guide these volunteer storytellers through a recorded interview, which is later stored in the Library of Congress for future citizens. Most recently, a StoryCorps app has been developed for people to record their interviews on their smartphones for submission.

Generations of Americans to come will be able to hear first-person narratives of our history through these compelling and riveting recordings.
