CCHS would like to thank everyone who attended the 2019 Winter Workshop on Oral History and a special thanks to Dr. Natalie Fousekis, Ph.D., the Director of the Lawrence de Graaf Center for Oral and Public History, and President of the Oral History Association.

 Despite a venue change to Mimi's Cafe in Lakewood, rain and flooding, the day was filled with great information and tools on Oral History as well as networking opportunities with other members.  Historical books were raffled off to attendees and everyone left with a boxed lunch from Ingalina's in Los Angeles.

Books available for purchase include:
