About

The goal of the Hudson Area Library Oral History Project is to collect oral histories that enhance the library’s local history resources. The oral histories in this collection include recordings created by participants during a 2013 workshop at the library led by Oral History Summer School Founder and Director, Suzanne Snider, with assistance from Melinda Braathen, as well as recordings created by contract and volunteer community members on the library's behalf. This is an open collection and oral histories continue to be collected by the Hudson Area Library staff and volunteers.

The Hudson Area Library abides by the General Principles & Best Practices for Oral History as agreed upon by the Oral History Association (2018) and expects that use of this material will be done with respect for these professional ethics.
Unless verbal patterns are germane to your scholarly work, when quoting from this material researchers are encouraged to correct the grammar and make other modifications maintaining the flavor of the narrator’s speech while editing the material for the standards of print.
