The Regional History Center has been conducting oral interviews with long-time residents, war veterans, members of the Ute Tribe, and many others since 1969.

What is an oral history?

• Oral History is the collection and study of historical information about individuals, families, important events, or everyday life.
• Oral History is a method of historical documentation.
• Oral History often touches on topics scarcely covered by written documents, and by doing so, fills in the gaps of records that make up early historical records.

How can I help?

• Come into the Regional History Center or call and we will help you get started.
•  If you have a friend or relative that you would like to do an oral history of, we will help you to set up an appointment for an interview.  We will conduct the interview or you would also be able to do the interview – or both.
