Will self-recorded National Day of Listening interviews be archived at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress?
No. Only interviews recorded with StoryCorps, on StoryCorps’ professional equipment that are logged, tagged for research purposes, with a signed release form, can be archived in the StoryCorps collection at the American Folklife Center at the Library of Congress. We encourage people to safeguard the interviews they record at home, as the recordings are likely to become family heirlooms. We recommend making copies, storing them in safe places, perhaps even a safety deposit box.
