Welcome to the
Center for the Study of History and Memory

We are a grant-funded research center that is dedicated to building upon our work in the field of oral history while broadening the range of its research projects to address the many ways that people remember, represent, and use the past in public and private life. We also offer training to students, faculty, and the public in the methodology of oral history through workshops and our online guide to "Oral History Interviewing Techniques." In addition to the Interviewing Techniques, this site offers finding aids to the 116 oral history projects that have been conducted by the Center, a newsletter providing information about the activites of the Center, and a multitude of external resources which provide additional information about many facets of history and memory.
