In 1973, the University of Kentucky began to collect oral histories from around the Bluegrass state. The project continues to this day. On this website, visitors can browse or search through over 8,000 of these oral history interviews, which are arranged by broad topics including Agriculture, Industries, Diversity, Education, Gender, and Veterans and Conflict. Within each of these categories, visitors will find dozens of oral history projects, which each feature interviews with multiple individuals around a specific topic or theme. Project titles include: Black Life in Mississippi in the 1950s; Midwifery; Immigrants in the Coal Fields; and Beyond Wood, Wires, and Glue: Young Banjo Players of Kentucky. As one can gather from this diverse list, this website features material that will be of interest to history students in a wide variety of fields and areas. Most of these interviews are available in their entirety online, and some include transcripts as well.
