The Great Plains Oral History Project

The Great Plains Oral History Project is an effort to record and preserve the personal stories and experiences of people who have lived in the Great Plains region of the United States. By conducting interviews, researchers capture firsthand accounts of residents’ lives, work, culture, and history, providing a rich, human perspective on the area's development over time. These collected stories help historians, students, and the community better understand the social and cultural fabric of the Great Plains, ensuring that individual voices are preserved for future generations.
