TYPES OF FAMILY HISTORY RESOURCES

Oral Histories

• The Oral History Collections of the Minnesota Historical Society
• Check the library catalog by name of person, or search the term "oral history" for a list of all cataloged interviews or sets of interviews
• Do your own family oral histories! The Minnesota Historical Society's Oral History Office has produced two helpful guides that highlight some best practices to consider when undertaking your own oral history project:
  • Oral History Project Guidelines (pdf)
  • Transcribing, Editing, and Processing Guidelines (pdf)
