Oral history training sessions to be held next week

Volunteers in the Mercer County Oral History Project are invited to training sessions next week.

Bill Philson, executive director of Mercer County Historical Society, will demonstrate interview techniques.

Sessions will be held at 7 p.m. Monday (5/17) in the society headquarters on South Pitt Street in Mercer and at 7 p.m. Tuesday (5/18) in Hermitage Historical Society's Stewart House on East State Street.

Eight volunteers have been recording the reminisces of older county residents, but many more are needed, said Joe Shafran, project director. The Sharon native lives in Annapolis, Md., and is hoping a local group will take over the project.
