PNH400 ORAL HISTORY PROJECT

Lead by Portsmouth High School students, with oversight from lifelong Portsmouth native Bob Lister, the PNH400 Education Pillar has launched a series of interviews to capture the thoughts and memories of some of our city’s most treasured personalities. The videos will be added here throughout the year, and are planned to be archived for posterity at the Portsmouth Public Library.

Many thanks to Portsmouth Public Media TV for all their assistance and generous use of their facilities and equipment.
