Oral History Society

The Oral History Society is an organization dedicated to the collection, preservation, and study of personal stories and firsthand accounts from individuals about their lives and experiences. By capturing voices directly from people, the society helps to provide a richer, more diverse understanding of history beyond official records. It supports researchers, educators, and the public in using oral history as a valuable tool for exploring social, cultural, and historical change. Essentially, it promotes the value of listening to and learning from people's personal narratives to better understand the past and present.
