Here's NPR's blurb: You may have already heard of StoryCorps, the American oral history project on NPR. Two people sit down in a studio and talk, telling stories about their lives, and the people at StoryCorps record and archive the conversation. StoryCorps is honing in on lessons about learning with a new project for the academic year, called the National Teachers Initiative.

The database in itself however is a fun place to start when working with your own personal classroom library to the extent that you can be linked to Amazon to purchase a copy if you so wish.
