Awesome Seattle!

Heartfelt thanks to Awesome Foundation Seattle (who give micro-grants to projects that are "devoted to forwarding the interest of awesomeness in the universe")

A vote of confidence that feels great and will allow this project to pay for a web redesign by web-designer students at Seattle Central Community College! 

Please support this local history project!

 

We could use your help to get web design, editors and to support the project going forward.
Thank you, in advance, for your help.  

Donations are handled by the amazing non-profit Fiscal Sponsor Shunpike.org and distributed only for legitimate project expenses.

About this Project: 

This is an oral history, as such it's a record of people's memories with each person interviewed being the authority on their memories. As they are individual, memories differ from person to person, even on the same event. It is not a journalism project.

All interviews have been condensed and edited.

Project Director:

Madeline Crowley.

I am an instructor in the Communications and Humanities Departments of a local University. They are very supportive of this project but it is entirely independent of that institution.

I was born in NY and came to Seattle about 20 years ago so did not grow up in this neighborhood. I have sought out Historical and Cultural Associations to find people willing to narrate their stories.

There is more information about the genesis of this project under the Profile tab at top right.
