When We Go Out: Oral History Interest Form
My name is Meerabelle and I’m a recent Penn graduate working on an oral history project to document lesbian spaces and networks in the 1970s and ’80s in Philadelphia. When We Go Out focuses aims to record the stories of spaces, groups, and people that make up Philadelphia’s lesbian/Sapphic history—from Dyketactics in the 1970s to softball and Sisterspace up to the '90s and beyond. To this end, I'm recording life history interviews which can also be an opportunity for people to record their memories and, if they wish, have them archived at William Way (or an archive of their choice, if feasible). The final product that I am creating will be an online record, either a blog or podcast, which I'm aiming to put up at the end of 2020.

What is your name? *
Please leave me an email address or phone number that I can use to get back to you. *
If you would like, let me know a little bit about why you're filling out this form. How long have you been in Philly? What has been your experience with the lesbian social scenes here? If you have felt excluded or marginalized in these, I want to hear from you as well!
How this will work
I will reach out to you and set up a date for an initial conversation. We'll get to know each other and talk a little bit about what you would like your oral history to contain, what I should make sure to ask you etc, and where would be a good place and time to meet. We can then set a date for the interview itself which may last around 60–90 minutes.

IMPORTANT: I will send you the entire file after we have done our recording. I will ask for your permission before using the recording for public purposes (in a podcast or newsletter). The decision to archive it is entirely your own.
