Overview of the Collection

Repository: Archives & Special Collections at the Thomas J. Dodd Center.
Creator: University of Connecticut.
Creator: Center for Oral History.
Title: University of Connecticut, Center for Oral History Interviews Collection.
Dates: undated, 1969-2008.
Quantity: 32 linear feet.
Identification: MSS19840025
Language: English.
Abstract: The collection contains publicly available transcripts based on interviews conducted by the University of Connecticut Center for Oral History, or individuals/programs associated with the Center.

History

The Center was established as the Oral History Project in 1968, and began to expand in the late seventies in response to a growing professional interest in this research technique. It was designated a Center by the University's Board of Trustees in 1981, and continues to increase both the number of research projects coming under its umbrella and the services it provides.

Center-based activities have been supported by funding from such agencies as the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Connecticut Humanities Council and the U.S. Office of Education, as well as by private sources and the University of Connecticut.

Publications originating from the Center include: Mills and Meadows: A Pictorial History of Northeastern Connecticut, From the Old Country: An Oral History of European Migration to America, Connecticut Workers and Technological Change, and Witnesses to Nuremberg: American Participants at the War Crime Trials.

Voices From The Second World War: An Oral History, 1999-2000
[Project Director: Bruce M. Stave. Interviews By: Various. This oral history project was conducted by one class in the fall of 1999 and continued in the spring 2000 semester as an individual independent study. Additional interviews were added from a class taught in 2001 and by a project conducted by Stephen Showers in 2000. The students sought to document the World War II experience from a variety of perspectives including: veterans, children growing up in the period, women, various ethnic groups, and people on the home front. The interviewees reside primarily in Connecticut. Some interviews contain support materials such as photographs.
See Also: Leavenworth Family Papers for the oral history of Robert D. Leavenworth. The document discusses Sgt. Robert D. Leavenworth's military service experience - between November 1943 and May 1945 - as a top turret gunner and engineer on a B-24 bomber during WW II. It includes his one year German Prison Camp experience at Stalag Luft IV near the Baltic Sea after his plane was shot down on a bombing raid over marshalling yards near Budapest, Hungary. A substantial portion of the document is devoted to the 600 mile Black Death March which started at the end of January 1945 when the German Prison Camp Commander ordered the prisoners to march West when the Russian troops were nearing the camp from the East. Included also are Bob's strong attitudes toward patriotism and the American flag. Bob died on Good Friday 2007 in Arizona.
