Welcome our first San Jose area subject

Despite having more than 1,600 subjects, IDEA has been missing a person from the San Jose-San Francisco-Oakland metro area in California — until now. So a big thanks to our latest subject, California 16, a 19-year-old woman from Palo Alto who submitted her own voice to the archive. If you live in that metro area (or anywhere that is underrepresented on IDEA), please consider a self-submission. Go here for more information on how to submit your recording to IDEA. And check out our Wish List to see what areas are currently not well represented.
