This is a guide to the Tacoma Community History Projects housed in the UW Tacoma Library. This guide includes several ways to find projects: Since 1991, students enrolled in Professor Mike Honey’s “Doing Community History” class have been collecting oral histories of local residents and gathering historical research in Community History Projects. Interviews are transcribed and edited for user accessibility, but the original audio interview is often included. Projects can be checked out at the UW Tacoma Library Circulation Desk. The projects are Library Use Only. Many of the projects are digitized and can be viewed via our digital exhibit. |
