The Purpose of the Questa Stories ~ Community Memory Project, is to establish a local oral history/story archive for North Central New Mexico, particularly for the "hub" of Questa and extending out to the surrounding communities, from Arroyo Hondo and Arroyo Seco to the South, along up to Costilla and Amalia to the North.

Taking inspiration from both traditional oral history and ethnographic approaches, as well as less traditional methods – events, conversations and the StoryCorps interview model, the goals of the project are to facilitate the recording and archiving as well as revitalization of local stories and traditions through meaningful conversations that link generations and encourage cross-pollination of ideas, perspectives, experiences and understandings.
