More Information about the project can be found at www.WRFALP.com\/IRemember<\/a>.<\/p>\n

The \u201cI Remember\u201d oral history project focuses on local residents who want to serve as primary sources on a variety of historical topics from the Jamestown and Chautauqua Region. The residents will be interviewed and portions of those interviews will then run in a series of audio and video programs that will be broadcast on the local airwaves and also streamed online, starting in September 2022.<\/p>\n

Funded through a Community Action Grant from the Chautauqua Region Community Foundation<\/strong>, as well as from additional funding from the Corporation for Public Broadcasting, the \u201cI Remember\u201d project has a goal of interviewing at least 100 different individuals and providing 25 hours of audio and video programming in its first year.<\/p>\n

All unedited interviews will also be transcribed and donated to the Chautauqua County Historical Society<\/strong> and the Fenton History Center<\/strong> for their archives<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
