In this recent DHPSNY webinar, staff from the Reher Center for Immigrant Culture and History spoke about their experience in creating the Hudson Valley Immigrant Oral History Project and resulting exhibition, Taking Root: Immigrant Stories of the Hudson Valley. This presentation covered challenges posed throughout the project, how it evolved over time, and what it was like working with various partners such as Kingston Library, Ulster Literacy Association, and the Culinary Institute of America. This program was part of the DHPSNY "What Did You Do? Stories from the Field" webinar series, which highlights the stories from archives professionals throughout New York State, particularly focusing on unique collections care solutions.
