The oral history collections contain cassettes and some transcripts or logs of the interviews of local oral history interviews on various aspects of Rhode Island life in the twentieth century. The Special Collections Unit is a depository for these oral history projects, which were conducted by other agencies. Indexes and finding aids describing the histories are kept in the Unit. Electronic versions of selected finding aids are linked to this web page.
