“How can I listen to an interview?
Visitors can listen to interviews in the Folklife Reading Room (Jefferson building, room G53). Please contact us ahead of your planned visit so we can confirm that the interviews you want to hear have been received: email: folklife@loc.gov ; phone: 202-707-5510.
Are the interviews online?
You can listen to edited interviews and watch the latest animated shorts
at storycorps.org. In addition, StoryCorps’ weekly broadcast is featured on NPR’s Morning Edition
and at npr.org.
How can I get a copy of an interview?
Copies must be requested directly from StoryCorps, since the organization retains all intellectual property rights to materials gathered as part of the project (both interviews and photos). You can submit a request through the StoryCorps Inquiries page.
Do you have a database I can use to search for certain names, geographic regions, or topics of interest?
There is a database for Storycorps interviews, but searches must be conducted by an AFC staff member. Please send inquiries to the AFC reference staff, and include “StoryCorps” in the subject line.
