Oral History Project

What is oral history? The Oral History Association defines it as follows: "Oral history is the preservation, through recorded interviews, of first-hand accounts from participants in important political, cultural and social developments. It is both the oldest type of historical inquiry (predating the written word) and one of the most modern - conducted with tape recorders since the 1940s."

The Barnett Historic Foundation is conducting an oral history program to complement the written historical records. Tapes and transcripts of the interviews will be included in the donation of records to the Florida State Archives. With the exception of the William R. Barnett interview (conducted by Russell S. Hoadley) and the Warren Henderson interview (conducted by Allen L. Lastinger, Jr.), all interviews have been conducted by David J. Ginzl. To date, the following interviews have been completed:
