Special Collections & University Archives
Sesquicentennial oral history project
Marking the one hundred and fiftieth anniversary of the University of Massachusetts, the Department of Special Collections and University Archives (SCUA) is conducting an oral history project to capture the many voices and diverse experiences that make up our campus community. The anniversary presents an opportunity to reflect on the real achievements — and real challenges — of public higher education over the past century and a half, and a chance to consider where we would like to be in the future.
Over the course of eighteen months, the staff of SCUA and our associates will conduct one hundred and fifty interviews with an array of administrators, faculty, students, alumni, and university employees, as well as selected members of the local community. As they are completed, the interviews will be made available to the public through this website and Credo, SCUA’s digital repository.
If you are interested in participating in the project, please contact the SCUA staff.
i love reading, about the historical history of farm life of the 1920.s. it was soo different back then, people these days just don.t care. neighbors helping each other, with out money or not, children helped with chores, thay didnt sit around with ipads i phones, or comptures. thay worked and even had to walk long didtance to go to school. thay had to mind theire parents are else. you can not make children mind any more.
