NEW FINDING AID FOR IU ORAL HISTORY ARCHIVE
Funded by a Preservation and Access Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities and created in collaboration with the Indiana University Digital Libraries Program and the Indiana University Archives, the Center for the Study of History and Memory at Indiana University has created a finding aid using Encoded Archival Description (EAD) which provides data on each of the oral history projects in our archive. The interviews preserve the memories of people who lived through the First and Second World War, the Great Depression, racial segregation, the civil rights movement, the women’s movement, and deindustrialization. The materials in this collection are a valuable resource to anyone interested in family history, women’s history, African-American history, ethnic history, politics, business, labor, rural lifeways, and urban communities.
To use our finding aid, visit:
http://www.indiana.edu/~cshm/eadbrowse.html.
The alphabetical ranges contain the annotated list of the projects in the Center for the Study of History and Memory archive, 1968 to the present. Click on a linked project name, and it will take you to a page that contains a description of the project, the interviewees for that project, keywords identified as relevant subjects in the interview, and an abstract for each interview. You will need to hit the "back" button to return to the "Browse" pages. A search engine for this finding aid is forthcoming.
For assistance in a search on a subject of interest to you, please contact our office at ohrc@indiana.edu, or call us at 812/855-2856.
