Well done Coleen,\n very interesting and informative.
Thank you very much Colleen. I only wish I had the technology 30 +/- years ago. At least I do have a series of interviews with my grandmother on a cassette tape recorder, and I just this year had it digitized before it disintegrated. Listening to it again, there was so much I did not remember, especially when she was talking about her parents and grandparents, and even a great grandparent who died in 1905 that her father told her about!\nI also have a reel-to-reel tape from 1966 of my great-grandfather, but the recorder doesn't work anymore and I haven't found anyone with equipment to digitize it.
Great webinar!!!!
This was great information I have some ideas for a family interview I would like to do and now have a place to start
Loved the class and would appreciate further sessions from this speaker.
Really interesting topic. Hadn't heard such in-depth, step by step instructions before.
I would like more instruction on how to use some of the editing software. Maybe divide the session and detail on how to use the software.
Excellent presentation with video clips of interviews she did with family members
