From H-New Jersey:
The Princeton Preservation group presents Shaun Illingworth, Director of Rutgers Oral History Archives on February 28, 2012, 5pm in the Pane Room at the Alexander Library at Rutgers-New Brunswick.
Shaun Illingworth will discuss his center’s work in documenting social,
cultural and military history across New Jersey and within the Rutgers
University community through oral history. ROHA is an enterprise to
record the personal experiences of Rutgers University alumni and/or New
Jersey residents who served on the home front and overseas during the
conflicts of the Twentieth and Twenty-First centuries; men and women who
helped shape the history of Rutgers University as students, alumni,
faculty, staff and in other roles; and people with a story to tell about
some aspect of New Jersey’s proud history. In particular, Mr.
Illingworth’s talk will focus on ROHA’s ongoing work in documenting the
World War II generation and how this information (as well as complementary
documents) is preserved in audio and print formats in conjunction with
Special Collections and University Archives at Alexander Library
The lecture is free, but membership to PPG is encouraged. Dues are $5 a year. Please RSVP to Shelagh Reilly shelagh.reilly@co.monmouth.nj.us .
