StoryCorps is an award-winning national project to create an oral history of America. It was created by MacArthur "Genius" Grant award winner David Isay. The first stationary recording booth opened New York's Grand Central Terminal in October 2003. Since then, several Airstream Mobile Recording Booths have crisscrossed the United States, collecting more than 35,000 interviews from more than 70,000 participants. All are archived in the American Folklife Center of the Library of Congress. StoryCorps is one of the largest oral history projects of its kind, and millions listen weekly to their broadcasts on NPR's Morning Edition as well as StoryCorps' own Listenpage.
StoryCorps in Los Angeles is made possible by a grant from the David Bohnett Foundation
