Hello my name is Gabriel Osorio. I am returning intern and a recent college graduate from the University of New Haven with a bachelor's degree in History. Previously I worked on a project involving a collection of antique military items that belonged to the Bailey family. It involved identifying the items as well as figuring out the connection these items had to the family through research. I also had the opportunity to visit West Point last summer to receive assistance from military historians to identify the items in the Bailey collection.
This year I hope to get involved with the Sound and Story Project, a program of the Sound Foundation that is currently being sponsored by the Somers Historical Society and other organizations. It involves digitizing the audio recordings of interviews with locals in the Hudson Valley and making them more accessible to broader audience whether it’s through podcasts or even cell phone tours. Interestingly enough, I had the chance to listen to one audio recording of a man who knew William Bailey, which happened to be a person I came across through my research from my previous project.
