Subject: Slave Narrative Collection (WPA)

Thanks to the tireless efforts of Charmaine Keith, I am pleased to announce
another statewide resource for the Oklahoma researcher - Slave Narratives
from the Federal Writers' Project, 1936-1938.

The Slave Narrative Collection that has been transcribed as they were
written. The language and descriptive portions are as the interviewer
transcribed them for the narrative collection; writing the language as
spoken by the people they interviewed. We strongly recommend that you read
the information from the Library of Congress explaining the language used
in these interviews.

This is a work in progress and will include interviews [approx 130] from
both the Library of Congress and Oklahoma Historical Society.

If you have one of these interviews currently not online, you are
encouraged to submit the interview for inclusion in this online source.
