EVENTS AND OPPORTUNITIES

The Island Oral History Project

This project seeks the collection of island traditions and heritage
including oral history, historic photographs and documents of local
significance for reservation and study.

Fast disappearing are the “tradition bearers” who still carry the
knowledge and skills of the traditional island occupations of
commercial fishing, net making, waterfowl hunting, boat building,
decoy carving, animal husbandry, quilting, as well as knowledge of
local island lore and history.

Listen to the oral history recordings or read the transcripts at the ESPL
web site ESPL

generations.  The Virginia Foundation for the Humanities was the original
sponsor of the project, it is now funded through your donations.
