UCLA Library Curators’ Conversations
After the Earthquake Popular Memory as History in Port-au-Prince, Haiti Report on a Student Oral History Project Wednesday, November 2 Noon-1 p.m. Charles E. Young Research Library Presentation Room In January 2010 a devastating 7.0 magnitude earthquake struck Haiti. More than five hundred thousand people were killed or injured, and the island nation's infrastructure was devastated. In September 2011 a UC contingent led by UCLA history professor Robin Derby traveled to Port-au-Prince, funded by a seed grant from the Ford Foundation-Latin American Studies Association. There they joined faculty members of the State University of Haiti to conduct an intensive training course in oral history methodology for a group of Haitian students. Teresa Barnett, head of the UCLA Library’s Center for Oral History Research and a member of the UC contingent, will report on the experience. In particular, she will focus on the interviews that resulted and some of the oral history and archival issues raised by such collaborations. Please join us for this occasional series exploring Library collections and projects with the staff who acquire and make them available. The presentation will be followed by a question-and-answer period. You are welcome to bring your lunch; coffee and cookies will be served. Seating is limited. RSVP to UCLA Library Development at <rsvp@library.ucla.edu>.
