As part of our celebration of Oregon’s sesquicentennial and our participation in the statewide Oregon Reads project, Cedar Mill Community Library partnered with Sunset High School's history department to produce an oral history project focused on the immigration experience.  Members of our community who are immigrants to the United States or have family members who immigrated were invited to share their stories with the broader community. Under the direction of history teacher Matt Hiefield, students interviewed and recorded participants' stories. CML librarian Mark Richardson then processed and posted the stories as podcasts on the library's website. 

For more information about this project, please contact Lynne Erlandson at 503 644-0043, ext 132, or Mark Richardson at ext 131, or email AskUsCML@wccls.org.
