Studs Terkel: Conversations with America <http://www.studsterkel.org/index.html>. Chicago Historical Society in conjunction with the National Gallery of the Spoken Word. Reviewed Sept. 1–12, 2004.

The site, launched in 2002, is a collaboration between the Chicago Historical Society (CHS), the repository for Terkel's recordings and a leader in developing online exhibitions <http://www.chicagohistory.org>, and the National Gallery of the Spoken Word, an initiative of Michigan State University's MATRIX project, which is developing an online digital library of twentieth-century American spoken word collections <http://www.historicalvoices.org>. The well-organized site includes an introduction, a biographical sketch, galleries containing interviews from Terkel's radio programs and books, an interview with Terkel, and an education section, plus a description of the CHS and a brief account of Terkel's ninetieth birthday party.	. . .
