This page includes examples and findings from two in-depth pilot studies,
which used e-mail to connect kids and with elders who shared stories about
World War II and the Civil Rights Years.
We have used the lessons learned from this pilot work to build a software
system that will make online oral history projects go more smoothly
for everyone involved.
If you are participating in the current study of Palaver Tree Online, you can get more specifics on the Study Page...
Any feedback, comments, or questions are welcome as well. Send e-mail to
