The Housatonic Heritage Oral History Center at Berkshire Community College was established to help people plan and implement sustainable oral history projects and properly care for their new and existing collections. The Center assists with various stages of a project, from pre-project planning, to interviewing, and then archiving, often connecting small organizations or people with professionals who can help them. The Center creates a clearinghouse of information and resources, an alliance of professionals and volunteers who share information in the effort to improve oral history practice and bring oral history into new settings and to new audiences. We also seek to engage youth in our projects thereby including them in the exploration of the rich heritage of the region and the people who live here, and providing technical skills associated with oral history practice
