The National Working Waterfront Network will host a free webinar “Preserving the Working Waterfront: Stories from the Nation’s Coast” on June 22, 2016, 3:00 pm EST on the NWWN Oral History Project.
Funded by NOAA Preserve America, the project captures ten oral histories for local champions on the front lines of working waterfront preservation and revitalization.
During the webinar, project team members will provide an overview of the collection while a representative from Fishtown, Michigan will expand on her community’s experience using historic preservation and folklore as tools for working waterfront preservation.
To pre-register for the webinar, email Stephanie Otts at sshowalt@olemiss.edu.
