I think the community-led oral history project is the most appealing of these strong proposals. It seems like oral history projects have the potential to make a long-lasting impact through collaboration. While a little more development or sharpening on exactly how a collaboration might look, a proposal to collaborate with any of the three mentioned organizations might yield a variety of new ideas.

Oral history seems to be a foundation of the cultural sector and it has enormous potential with the rich diversity of a city like Philadelphia and the growing consumption of audio sources, like podcasts, that work quite well with oral history. Because of this enormous potential, I endorse the idea of an oral history collaboration.
