Spilling Grain: Audio Stories from the People of Buffalo's Grain Elevators, 2019-2020
Description
Spilling Grain is an oral history project created by Kate Kaye, Buffalo native and journalist, to chronicle the grain industry in Buffalo, as well as those who worked in it and its cultural impact. The project was begun in 2019, and is currently hosted on Kaye's website at redtailmedia.org.
Kaye graciously donated a copy of the complete project for permanent preservation and inclusion in the B&ECPL Digital Collections in 2023.
The collection includes photographs taken by Kaye in 2019 and 2020, as well as edited oral history recordings from grain industry and mill workers, scholars, and musicians.
