Amazing news! We've acquired access to "The HistoryMakers" project - the largest African American oral history archive!
Founded in 1999 by Brandeis alum Julieanna Richardson, the HistoryMakers mission is to interview and preserve the oral history of 5,000+ African American HistoryMakers, and to establish an online database of searchable content that demonstrates their significant contributions to American society and culture.
The archive contains over 2,700 oral histories, totaling 9,000 hours from historically significant African Americans, as well as African American organizations, events, and movements that have made significant contributions to American society and culture. Transcripts for the interviews are available and searchable.
This is fantastic news for our students and researchers!
