This project investigated the feasibility of creating a permanent site of women's oral history at the new Worcester Visitor Center. Working with the Worcester Women's History Project, three main objectives were explored: designing an interactive exhibit space, creating a sound booth, and developing a digital resource center. This was accomplished by meetings and surveys with major parties involved in the project and conducting relevant research. We designed a directory and offered recommendations to enable a feasible implementation of the site.
