The Wahkiakum County Eagle - Established as The Skamokawa Eagle in 1891

Volunteers with Nordic Voices who interviewed 25 locals at the 2014 Finnish American Folk Festival have been busily transcribing those interviews. The first ones will be in the mail in the next week or two. Instructions will be included.

The people who did these interviews had so much fun doing them, they have requested to return to Naselle May 29 and 30 to continue this project. The Appelo Archives Center is providing them with additional names and contact information. Those interviews will take place at the Naselle Lutheran Church. The Nordic Voices volunteers will be contacting people soon to set up interview times.

This is a valuable project which helps the AAC add to its collection of oral histories as the AAC will receive transcriptions and copies of the DVDs of each person interviewed.

The AAC hopes that as many people as possible will participate. Anyone who would like to be interviewed and has not been contacted by May 1, should call the AAC at 484-7103 to be included in the list.
