Your first visit

Feeling unsure the first time is normal. Most groups are glad when someone new walks in.

First step: Register for the fall workshop through the ticket page linked on ohmar.org, or email ohmar.contact@gmail.com to ask about the next local meetup or social..

You need to sign up first.

What to expect

Workshops are live classes on oral history skills. The fall 2026 workshop, Interviewing New Americans, is a 90 minute Zoom class led by Alana Gomez on Wednesday, October 21, from 6 to 7:30 pm Eastern. The page does not list its price, so check the ticket page first.

Tips for your first visit

  • Check the price on the ticket page before you register, since the workshop page does not list one.
  • Members get discounted registration for OHMAR events, so compare the member price if you plan to attend more than one.
  • Email ohmar.contact@gmail.com for questions. The site also links to contact@ohmar.org, so check which one replies.
