Wood, Linda P.

"Capturing these moments of history in the making through tape recorded interviews is the purpose of oral history."

Thus does Linda Wood, librarian at the South Kingston (RI) High School describe the essential value of oral history in making the recent past meaningful in her introduction to the published version of The Whole World Was Watching: an Oral history of 1968 . Wood was the coordinator of the oral history project, The Whole World Was Watching.
