Whatever else you do in life, don't miss the 12th annual Association of Personal Historians conference October 4-8, 2006, in beautiful Portland, Ore., where we'll be "Celebrating stories: Passage to the past, flowing to the future."
Do you love listening to people share stories of their lives but wonder if you can make a living at this profession? Well, of course you can. Just ask the eight people serving on the Financially Successful Personal Historians Panel featured Sunday morning.
Are you new to personal history and wondering how to launch a business or conduct an oral history interview? We have resources for you—workshops on the business of personal history and an introduction to oral history.
Are you passionate about celebrating stories through video biographies? You can learn about the technology as well as the art by participating in conference workshops for beginner, intermediate and experienced videographers.
With three major speakers, two panel discussions, thirty-two workshops lasting ninety minutes each and an exciting array of evening opportunities, the APH conference offers something for everyone.
Our speakers are award-winning newspaper columnist and author Bob Welch, author and University of Oregon Director of Literary Nonfiction Lauren Kessler, and Ursula Bacon, who published a book recounting how she fled with her family from Nazi Germany and lived in the Shanghai ghetto in the early 1940s.
For the first time ever, the public will be invited to attend the traditional Town Square Saturday afternoon, where APH members show their products and vendors sell their wares. During a free Community Forum held in conjunction with Town Square, five APH members will teach mini-workshops on topics of interest to the public: The Power of Life Stories, Genealogy, Ethical Wills and Spiritual Legacies, and Preserving Family Heirlooms.
Saturday night features a fabulous dinner cruise along the Willamette River with Northwest cuisine served aboard the Portland Spirit, thanks in part to the sponsorship of Neal Harmon of FamilyLearn and Marc Aaron Johnson of Access Generations.
So don't miss the opportunity to visit the City of Roses. You won't regret it...and you'll never forget it.
