Documenting Stories at Scale
When it comes to capturing stories at scale, we use a variety of tools, including our self-guided web-based story capture program to interview groups and subgroups of people, with a few questions or many, from micro topics to broad recollections, right through their desktop camera.
The interviewers were amazing, so well prepared that we captured stories that had never been shared before.
