Yahoo! Picks - bringing you the best of the Web since 1995

For the past several years, StoryCorps has created citizen historians out of everyday folks. Armed with simple microphones and tape recorders, people have captured over 8,000 stories of their lives, about traveling in the South during segregation, being identical twins, or surviving Hodgkin's disease. Excerpts are available on this site, and you can browse the short audio clips by topic. Family members often share quirky, moving stories about growing up or home and place. Questions about who you are lead to intriguing stories about businessmen, transsexuals, immigrants, and survivors. September 11 and Hurricane Katrina stories are both represented, too. Like what you've heard here? You can get involved and record your own. Everybody has a story to tell for the ages, and the StoryCorps Archive will be housed in the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress.
