Spilling Grain: Audio Stories from the People of Buffalo's Grain Elevators, 2019-2020 is an oral history project created by Kate Kaye, Buffalo native and journalist, to chronicle the grain industry in Buffalo, as well as those who worked in it and its cultural impact. The project, begun in 2019, is currently hosted on Kaye's website at redtailmedia.org, and was recently added to the Library's Digital Collection. Join Kate for The Real People of Buffalo's Grain Elevators, a deep dive into the people and places on the Buffalo waterfront.
