In celebration of the approaching 250th anniversary of American Independence, Everything is a Primary Source is embarking on its biggest project yet; a north to south, coast to coast collection of oral histories from The People themselves.

In conjunction with the Woodman Museum in Dover, NH, where the EPS Library will call home, a pair of summertime cross-country trips will unfold, stopping at Goodwill Outlets to collect local pop culture artifacts, which will be displayed at nearby museums. Passersby will be encouraged to record their reactions and relationships to what is cultivated, turning their oral histories into podcasts, and then into the centerpieces for teaching and learning materials.

Unlocking just some of the countless stories of who we are as a nation is my contribution to celebrating the United States of America during the semiquincentennial. It’s your history, my history, OUR history through popular culture.

This project cannot happen without your support. Donations can be made directly to EPS, or to the Woodman Museum. Consider purchasing some Everything is a Primary Source merchandise to support history preservation and humanities education.
