It replicates the success of the model\, Adirondack Community: Capturing\, Retaining\, and Communicating the Stories of Who We Are (www.myadirondackstory.org) in other communities across the country\, with an initial focus on New York. \nWhat is Adirondack Community? : It’s a multi-year local history project that collects and organizes three to five-minute audio stories and related photographs from local archives and community members through an online platform to share the rich social and cultural history of the Town of Keene\, located in New York State’s Adirondack Mountains. \nThe presentation will address some of these questions and others\, plus lead you to resources for answers to others: \n\nWhat is an OurStoryBridge project and what can they provide us at no cost to get started?\nHow can our library or other organization start a story project and why do it?\nWhat will it take to run: cost\, fundraising\, technology\, partnerships\, personnel/staff resources\, marketing?\n\nLaunched by the Keene Valley Library (Keene Valley\, NY)\, OurStoryBridge brings into focus all the moving parts needed to make your own community story project a similar success. Some potential impacts that an OurStoryBridge project can have on your community are: \n\nAppreciate the history that shaped your community\, that helps make it what it is today and what it can become tomorrow.\nCreate closer bonds between residents\, and promote connections that lead to neighborly acts of kindness\, assistance\, and support in times of need.\nPreserve stories that may be lost if not recorded soon and honor the legacies of your older generations by capturing their stories in their own words.\nEngage the younger generations\, and encourage them to remain in or return to their home community after high school\, college\, trade school\, or any number of life’s adventures.\nEducate residents and visitors of all ages\, and inspire them to become contributing members of your community.\nCelebrate what makes your community unique\, perhaps even famous.\nAttract new residents and visitors.\nReveal pockets of rich histories and connections heretofore unknown or not widely known.\nAcknowledge the catastrophes\, tragedies\, or difficult challenges that shape your community.\nAppreciate how the geography and the economics of your area impact how your community members live.\nUnravel the puzzle of how and why street or place names\, stores\, clubs\, and other institutions came to be.\nRe-ignite a passion for your community archives and/or previously recorded oral histories by translating some onto this new digital platform.\nMeet your audience where they are: online!\n\nRead more about the presenter\, Jery Y.
