Studs Terkel Audio Archive to Go Online

The creation of a publicly accessible digital archive with nearly 5,000 oral history interviews, conducted by the Chicago journalist Studs Terkel, is one of 177 projects awarded a grant this week by the National Endowment for the Humanities. The grants, totaling $34 million, support projects in 43 states and Washington, D.C., and include both populist and modestly funded projects like the digitization of the Terkel interviews (for which the Chicago public media station WTTW was given a $60,000 grant) to more arcane and pricey, like Indiana University’s plan to create online and print publications about the works of the 13th-century philosopher Richard Rufus (which won a $310,060 grant). The grants were announced just as the endowment’s new chairman, William Adams, known as Bro, took up his post.

Oral history being recorded from the Upper Kobuk

NOME, Alaska (AP) - For the first time, centuries-old fishing knowledge from the Upper Kobuk River is being recorded. "The knowledge that is in us, in our brains, has not ever been written," said Virginia Commack, tribe manager for the Native Village of Ambler, "not even the elders, we learned it from, which is like 500 plus years old. I'd say it's a 1,000 or more years knowledge that we've never been able to write down to pass onto our children."
