Our Collection
Please scroll through Our Collection of oral histories below.
All of the USDCHS interviews are preserved as original recordings and transcribed interviews. Both formats can be accessed at the Oregon Historical Society Davies Family Research Library. Early audio recordings were captured on magnetic cassette tape, but since 2006 all interviews have been recorded digitally and include video recorded sessions in addition to the audio format. Contact libreference@ohs.org for more information.
Many of these transcribed interviews are also housed at the Hatfield Courthouse. Please contact Julia Sathler, Portland Branch Librarian for the Ninth Circuit, to arrange a visit.
If you have questions, you may also contact Oral History Committee Chair Joe Carlisle.
