During fall term 2025, SCARC collaborated with Dr. Dwaine Plaza’s course SOC 318 Qualitative Research Methods on an assignment for students to conduct oral history interviews with Oregon State University Faculty. Early in the term, the students came for an instruction session held in the SCARC Reading Room and we shared the SCARC resource Oral History Interviewing Methods & Project Management. We now have 5 new oral history interviews available for public access!
