NPR's Story Corps
NPR's StoryCorps rolled into town a couple of weeks ago and will be here through the 7th of June.
Essentially they are lugging a shiny aistream (http://twitpic.com/116r) across the nation and collecting stories that will wind up in the Library of Congress.
From their site:
Our mission is to honor and celebrate one another’s lives through listening.
Since 2003, almost 30,000 everyday people have shared life stories with family and friends in our StoryBooths. Each conversation is recorded on a free CD to share, and is preserved at the Library of Congress. Millions listen to our broadcasts on public radio and the web. StoryCorps is one of the largest oral history projects of its kind.
Everybody’s story matters. Every life counts. Help us reach out to record our history, hopes, and common humanity—and illuminate the true character of this nation.

What I like about it is to show how simple it can be to record all of the stories around us. OK, an airstream packed with recording equipment is arguably not simple. But I think it's a cool project.
