The Halifax County-South Boston Public Libraries is looking for local citizens to interview for a living history project. Visit their page for more information.

The library seeks three to five local citizens to interview in October and November of this year for a video history project that seeks to record experiences of people living and working in Halifax County, Virginia. Particularly the experiences of veterans. This is for a graduate school project, with expectations to continue after initial interviews have been conducted. Interviewees will be given questions ahead of time, must be willing to sign a consent form, and be willing to appear on camera. Interviews will be privately conducted at the Halifax Public Library in the local history room. Videos will be edited and added to the library’s YouTube page and private server for preservation.

Anyone interested in volunteering may pick up a packet of information at either the South Boston Public Library in downtown South Boston, or the Halifax Public Library in downtown Halifax, and leave their contact information.

Everyone has a story to tell- and when those stories are told and recorded, we get to keep a vital piece of our history for future generations.
