Oral History Project HTI's 2001 Oral History pilot project, funded by a Montgomery County Historic Preservation Grant Fund, captures the recollections of three senior members of the Takoma community about World War I, the Depression, World War II, the African American community in Takoma Park, and the years prior to the 1960s. A second grant from Montgomery County Historic Preservation Fund to continue the oral history interviews begins in January 2002. This year's interview subjects were:
Copies of the interview transcripts, photos, and related interview information will be available after January 1, 2001, at the Historic Takoma Archives, as well as at the Takoma Park and Takoma DC libraries, Montgomery Historical Society, the Historical Society of Washington, and in local school libraries. Recipient of a another grant from Montgomery County Historic Preservation, the Oral History Committee will undertake a new round of interviews during 2002, and begin planning for a workshop on conducting oral history interviews to take place in early 2003. The Oral History Committee welcomes new members interested in saving Takoma's oral history before it is too late. We also welcome recommendations for interview subjects. Oral historians who are interested in participating in the interview process are also invited to join us.
