We would like to take this opportunity to thank all of the friends we made during our visit to Texas. In fourteen days, we traveled 1023 miles, visited four cities, and had the honor of interviewing 26 sets of descendants of migrants from the late Ottoman Empire who donated a total of 263 artifacts to the OGUS archive. If we did not have a chance to meet during our visit and you live in Texas, please contact us if you are interested in being interviewed.
Finally, we would like to thank the countless donors who financially support the OGUS project through their generous donations to the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program. Without your contributions, this fieldwork would not have been possible.
