An Oral History Exhibit

We were honored to win the support of the Delegation of the European Union to the United States this year. Together with Eastside High School's IB students and the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program (SPOHP), the Center was able to burgeon a rare Historical and visual experience, the 'Getting to Know You' oral history exhibit. In it, Eastside students appended a colorful context to the Historical narratives of Europeans who now live in Gainesville. They conducted video interviews with SPOHP's counsel, painted and photographed, and exhibited their work in the Thomas Center Mezzanine Gallery. Below are some photos from the exhibit opening:

We are happy to say the oral history exhibit is free and open for the public to view from Monday-Friday: 8 a.m.-5 p.m. until Saturday, June 21st, at 4pm.  Do try to make it out for this unique experience! If you're not in Gainesville proper, videos are available to view on Eastside's IB Oral History Project website: http://eastside.sbac.edu/pages/EHS0421/5130169170831539170/IB_Program/IB_Oral_History_Project
