Jeanne Weimann describes the growing video archives of “Documenting Social History: Chicago’s Elderly Speak,” a joint project by Loop College and Communications for Change, in a 1975 Chicago Reader article. The story, “A History of Feeling” on Videotape: Real Life History From People Who Lived It,” describes how the project creates a living history of everyday people and helps to bridge the generation gap and address issues of isolation of the elderly.
