On September 6th museum staff attended the Texas Oral History Association (TOHA) annual conference. This year the conference was hosted by the Baylor University Libraries Institute for Oral History. The conference focuses on helping various historical organizations across the state better understand oral history and teach how to better document and archive oral history. |
