Additional Descriptive Notes for Overall Work

California Listens -- Stories about Being Californian is a project of the California State Library implemented by Berkeley-based StoryCenter in 2016 and 2017. The primary goal was to collect 10 2-4 minutes digital stories from 24 Public Libraries around the State of California. In addition StoryCenter worked with a number of libraries in building their capacity for carrying out recorded conversations using the Listening Station, an iPad-based recording kit and app developed specifically for this project. The stories will exist as a collection for the State Library at archive.org, and for participating libraries. The digital stories were created in series of two day workshops for 6-12 participants hosted at each library. This story was created by Javier Guzman as part of a StoryCenter workshop made possible by the California State Library and Califa and a partnership between Creative Sonoma and Sonoma County Library.

Transcript or Full Text

[Caption]: How was the community in the aftermath of the fire? Marlene Smith, resident, Sonoma County: I saw beautiful things happening where people...I just remember reading about this guy who found a knife. There was somebody who was a chef or something and he found a knife and he fixed it for him. And there was people who gave...who found out about pictures that they lost and somebody went to a Goodwill and happened to find a picture same size--same picture--same everything, and they went and gifted it to them, you know. People who have given their furniture away--dishes. I mean, I've given things away that I've held on to since I first got married 42 years ago, knowing that somebody else could use it better than me, you know. They would need it better than I would...more than I would. So yeah, it's just a lot of people wanting to help. [Título]: ¿Cómo fue la comunidad después del incendio? Marlene Smith, residente del condado de Sonoma: vi que sucedían cosas hermosas en las personas ... Recuerdo haber leído sobre este tipo que encontró un cuchillo. Había alguien que era un chef o algo así, encontró un cuchillo y lo arregló para él. Y hubo personas que dieron ... descubrieron fotos que perdieron y alguien fue a Goodwill y encontró una imagen del mismo tamaño, la misma imagen, todo lo mismo, y fueron y se las regalaron, usted saber. Personas que han regalado sus muebles - platos. Quiero decir, he entregado cosas que conservé desde que me casé hace 42 años, sabiendo que alguien más podría usarlo mejor que yo, ya sabes. Lo necesitarían mejor que yo ... más de lo que lo haría. Así que sí, es solo un montón de gente que quiere ayudar.
