Recording Women's History Through Conversation: An Oral History Training Workshop
Mark your calendars for Wednesday, June 19th, 2013, at 7 p.m. when the GGRWHC will sponsor a workshop in the VanderVeen Center of the Grand Rapids Public Library on conducting oral history interviews.

Please consider helping interview women in our community who have "made a difference." The workshop on June 19th will introduce you to procedures for interviewing and later depositing your work in our collection at the Grand Rapids Public Library. Guided by the Oral History Committee of the GGRWHC, you can practice developing interview questions and rehearsing interview methods, after discussing permissions and appropriate recording devices.
If you can, please let us know you're attending. If you can't, come anyway! Call 616-574-7307 or email [email protected] with queries and contact information to reserve a space. |

Help History Parade
Once again the GGRWHC will honor our forebears by re-enacting suffragists parading on Grand Rapids streets a hundred years ago. Please join us on July 4th to march in the annual Hollyhock Lane Parade!
On Wednesday morning, July 4th, we will gather at 8:00 am in Ottawa Hills. Look for "suffragists," the gaudy yellow and purple GGRWHC banner, or Willy, our suffragist dog! Parading has always mixed just plain fun with serious business. At the same time we honor the political efforts of Grand Rapids women a century ago, we use their parade model to advertise the mission of the GGRWHC today. Visible ourselves, we make our forebears visible. So join in the fun with GGRWHC--and the politicians and the fire trucks and the kids on bikes!
