The Beauty of Oral Histories

I have spent the better part of my afternoons in Special Collections. Most of these trips to Special Collections were spent looking at the College Catalogue, G-Book, and Barbara Holley’s Scrapbook Collection. This week I decided to take a look at the Oral Histories in Special Collections. I was surprised to read and learn new things about college social life and culture that I would have not otherwise known. Facts, numbers, pictures, and books can only give you a wide range of information, but Oral Histories find the narrative and the voice of the people. I hope I will be able to use the voices I found reading the oral histories in my digital project to add another layer of depth to the narrative of women.
