James Eitrheim Oral Biography Project
Dear Family, Friends, Colleagues, Students… Thank you in advance for your help and participation! We are working on an oral biography of James Eitrheim.
What is an Oral Biography?
A biography has an author who researches a subject and an editor who filters content, an oral biography just has you! Information comes from the source, from everyone who knew him best.Readers will follow his life narrated by people who were there; their memories and stories.
The Framework
We distribute a list of questions to 400 people. The questions are posted on our website. Questions are also available in project office. The anticipated time commitment is 30 minutes. This material will be compiled in office from Jan-March 2011. In April, a book will be published and presented to the Eitrheims. Book will be available to all participants for cost of printing (around $20)
Photos / Poster Art
We will be using photos and poster art for chapter headers Do you have anything you'd like to share? We'd love to use it in the book! Anything we borrow will be returned!
