From the Collection:
This collection comprises the breadth of the oral history collection at the Indiana State Library, ranging from circa 1904 to 2019. The bulk of the collection contains oral histories created during the ISL Oral History Project during the 1960s-1980s and recordings of events, meetings, recitations, and radio interviews created and acquired by library staff during that period. The remainder are oral histories created by various outside institutions and organizations, such as universities, public libraries, state agencies, and clubs and societies.
Each individual oral history collection has its own identifier (OH#) and associated finding aid containing more in-depth information about specific projects and the subjects of interviews and other recordings. Please see specific OH finding aids for more information.
