About Oral Histories
Project purpose
The mission of the Mazama Oral History Project is to get, organize, and preserve information and stories related to Mazamas development, history, and activities to expanding and enriching the organization's current written records. The personal perspectives provided by interviewees will help researchers, scholars, members, and the interested public to broaden their understanding of the Mazamas and its unique history and contributions.
What are they?
Oral histories are planned, pre-researched interviews with participants of past events. The term can include products such as audio or video recordings as well as electronic or print transcriptions of such an interview. Recording the recollections of first-hand participants in events, oral histories are a valuable primary source document in historical research. Often, oral histories reveal the unique stories of participants in larger events and can include different perspectives or more details than secondary source histories of the events.
When were they digitized?
In 2016 the Mazama Library worked with a local organization to digitize our entire collection of oral histories.
Are transcripts available?
Transcripts are available for all of the records in our collection. Contact the LHC Manager for access.
