WFOT will suspend submissions to the Occupational Narratives Database from January 2025. The videos in the Database will remain accessible but the submission closure will allow our project volunteers to focus on researching the rich qualitative data regarding occupation that is contained within the narratives. WFOT invites remaining submissions to the Occupational Narratives Database by December 31, 2024.
