At 2:30 p.m. historian Howard Green will explain how to capture and preserve these priceless stories by carrying out an oral history project with family members and friends. Beginning at 1:00 p.m. there will also be an opportunity to view an example of one of the videotaped oral history conversations called "Sound Bytes and Bagel Bites" that SO Productions and the South Orange Historical Society have produced to document the history of neighborhoods in South Orange.
