Description

Do you have letters, diaries, photos, scrapbooks, or other materials that illustrate your life in Bosnia before coming to St. Louis or that document your journey to and experiences in the United States?

Would you like to share your story in an audio or video recording? This has shown to be a powerful way to pass knowledge and understanding on to future generations.

We invite members of the Bosnian community to bring in materials or have their story recorded between 1 and 4 pm on Saturday, May 6 at the Weber Road Branch of the St. Louis County Library.

We will not keep your originals -- they will be scanned or photographed and returned immediately. Materials do not need to be in English.

We welcome walk-ins but would also encourage you to let us know you'll be coming and what you'll be sharing. Please email akaramehicoates@fontbonne.edu or call 859-489-6413.

4444 Weber Rd. | St. Louis, MO 63123


Additional Notes

In partnership with Bayless High School and funded by a grant from the Council of Independent Colleges. The Center's work with the Bosnian community is sponsored by the generous support of Midwest BankCentre.
