The project was conducted by the East Boston Greenway Council in partnership
with the Boston Natural Areas Network and a team of volunteer interviewers in 1997 and 1998.
14 interviews were conducted with longtime East Boston residents, resulting in over
20 hours of recorded oral history.
Digitization
The interviews were recorded on cassette tapes.
In 2020, nattaylor@gmail.com digitized
them using a cassette tape player with a USB output, the playback of which
was captured and post processed with a software called "Audacity". They are shared
with lossy MP3 compression. Currently, only some of the tapes have been digitized.
