Who's Eligible?
We're primarily looking for anyone who's lived the majority (roughly 75%) of their lives in in Chatham County, NC. However, we're also looking to record the experiences of more recent Chatham newcomers, especially those familiar with the unique culture and traditions of the county.
Participants must be 16 years or older.
FAQ
How Do Interviews Work?
Interviews typically last around 45 minutes to an hour. Interview questions touch on aspects of everyday life, growing up, farming, local lore, and any other stories you'd like to share.
If you would like to participate in our documentary, we will also ask you a few follow-up questions in front of a camera after the interview.
You do not have to answer any questions you are uncomfortable with and you will have full discretion over what will be included in the oral history and/or the documentary.
Where? When?
Our team can meet with you at the old Courthouse in Pittsboro or any location that is most convenient for you. We aim to complete the project by the summer of 2023, so reach out soon so we can schedule an interview at a time that works best for you.
