Oral Histories

Members of the VWHC have been collecting Oral Histories since 1999. Recordings and transcripts of almost all of these interviews are available at the VWHC Collection in the UMass Special Collection and University Archives. In 2014, Laura Lovett was awarded a Five College Digital Humanities grant to digitize some of our oral history collection and make them available on this website. Destiney Linker was hired with these grant funds to work at SCUA as a Research Associate, and her efforts have made this digitization a reality.
