河谷之聲
地方性遺產
您曾問過您的祖父母或其他的老人，當他們年青時，世界是什麼樣子？位於加州北方，就讀於安德森河谷中學及高中 (Anderson
Valley Junior and Senior High School)的學生詢問了為數不少的在地老人關於他們生活的相關問題，而且創作了一本名為「河谷之聲：安德森河谷老者的故事，由安德森河谷少者所編集」 (Voices
of the Valley: Stories of Anderson Valley Elders Collected by Anderson
Valley Youth)的書。
自居住的鄉村社區內，學生們挑選出一些講述生平故事的老者並錄製其訪問內容。這項步驟的所得結果稱做口述歷史計劃。計劃進行時，學生則化身為歷史學家並對居住社區內的長輩及所屬的在地遺產有了更深一層的瞭解。
為什麼不試著進行你自己的口述歷史計劃呢？您可以先從訪問自己的父母或祖父母開始。試著發現他們的生活跟你的生活之間的不同處，您可能會對你發現的結果感到不可思議。
Have you ever asked your grandparents or an older person what the world was like when they were younger? Students from Anderson Valley Junior and Senior High School in northern California asked a number of elderly folks from the valley questions about their lives and created a book titled Voices of the Valley: Stories of Anderson Valley Elders Collected by Anderson Valley Youth.
The students selected elders with stories to tell about life in their rural community. They set up interviews and recorded them. The result of this process is called an oral history project. During the project, the students became historians and gained a greater understanding of the senior citizens in their community and of their own local heritage.
Why not try your own oral history project? You could start with your parents or grandparents. Try to find out how their lives were different from yours. You just might be surprised with what you find.
