Prof. Tomonori Nagano planned to conduct interviews with students and wanted guidance on release forms and what to do with them afterwards. Phase 2 Seeing the potential of the interviews, we applied for a grant to conduct more interviews and provide compensation for students time.This allowed us to hire research assistants to conduct the majority of the interviewsBenefits to Archives in getting involved early in the process● Build digital preservation into the workflow rather than receiving documents at the end.○ Digital Preservation should not be an afterthought at the end of a project● Ensures that the archives get files they “need” rather than something that will make do.○ Biggest issue here was receiving the transcripts both a closed captioning file (.srt) and a full transcript without timestamps (.pdf) for researchers to read.● Receiving release forms to ensure future access to collections.● Make collections usable to researchers more quickly. ○ Connecting to broader Library/Archive/Museum community off campus.● Writing digital preservation plans for grant and IRB applications.Outreach● College wide emails● Posting to Library websites and social media● Flyering at local public libraries● Word-of-mouthOutreach● College wide emails  ○ Most successful● Posting to Library websites and social media○ Led to fraud participants ● Flyering at local public libraries○ Did not receive many participants forms this yet, probably due to our lack of in-person outreachIssues faced - Limitations● Naming the project “COVID-19 Asian American Oral History Project” felt limiting further into the project○ LaGuardia Community College is a Hispanic Serving Institution and the name may have alienated potential participants● Project start lined up with the College’s “return” to campus, outreach got a bit lost in the confusion● Everyday Zoom problems during interview ○ Including but not limited to unstable connections, unclear audio, crosstalkIssues faced - Fraud participantsAfter publicizing the project on the Library website we received many “fraud” participants.  ● Unusual names (“Michael James”, “Johnson Richardson”)● Odd availability times○ Many of these ended up being no shows● Very vague responses, clearly not part of the college or even in NYC● Responses all very similar to each otherTo resolve this we re-submitted our IRB to be clear that we can deny participants.
