Staff and volunteers of the Joint Archives of Holland have been busy typing transcripts from
the Sesquicentennial Oral History Project 150 Stories for 150 Years. Volunteers
have been conducting interviews with a wide variety of Holland citizens and have been
producing tapes of their conversations at a prodigious rate.
At press time, the volunteers for the Sesquicentennial Oral History Project have completed 63 interviews, and just over ten of these have been completely transcribed and will soon be available for research use.
These transcripts provide a lasting legacy which will document our life and times in the last half of the twentieth century to be used by researchers, scholars, students and the public for generations to come.
If you have suggestions for individuals who should be considered for an oral history interview, please call the Joint Archives of Holland at 395-7798. We hope to complete the Sesquicentennial Oral History Project by the end of 1997. We hope that transcripts of all the interviews will be complete by the end of the following year.
