Last week I was away for work so I am behind on my oral history project. However I did get registered for the  “Oral History for the 21st Century” Symposium. Additionally, one of the days I was away included training in MS-Project and I subsequently purchased and installed a copy. It wasn’t exclusively for this project but I trying to use it on this project.

Finally, I spent a little time over the weekend visiting with Dr. Richard Hug who offered some advice on marketing and fund raising for non-profits. He suggested a book by Philip Cotler titled Museum Marketing Strategy. This may be a good read to add since my focus this semester is less on actually performing oral histories an more on handling the business of it all.

Anyway, I will advance the project this week and have much more to report in the next posting.
