Oral History of Twentieth Century Mongolia

From the University of Cambridge's Mongolia and Inner Asia Studies Unit (MIASU) and the National University of Mongolia, comes this extensive collection of 600 oral histories from individuals who lived in Mongolia throughout the twentieth century. These interviews, which highlight the diverse experiences of individuals born between 1911 and 1980, provide insight into a century that "saw Mongolia move from being a part of the Qing Empire to an aristocratic theocracy to Soviet-style socialism and democracy." Website visitors may select Browse for a chart that includes information about each interviewee's date of birth and ethnicity, along with the name of the person who conducted the interview. Each interview is summarized in English and tagged according to 20 different themes selected by the interview team (including Belief, Repression, Industrialization, and Relations Between Men and Women). Those with a reading knowledge of Mongolian can also read the interview transcripts in full.
