Guides to interviewing Jamaican elders and keeping their stories: the questions to ask, how to record, and how to turn what they remember into a search.
Record an elder’s story on your phone the right way: consent, settings, mic placement, a lead-in script and where to save the file so it lasts for decades.
Fifty questions for Jamaican grandparents and elders, grouped by theme, with advice on interviewing respectfully and checking their stories against records.
An independent press for Caribbean and diaspora storytelling. Founded and published by Nikki Woods.
