The library is building a digital archive of stories, songs, photos and other artifacts about life in East Oakland.
About twenty families are taking part in the project.
They came to the Acorn-Woodland School on 81st Avenue Saturday morning to tell their stories.
The project was developed by an artist named Rene Yung as a way to counter negative stereotypes about East Oakland.
The archive will be housed at the East Oakland Community Library which opens later this year.
