Samuel Proctor Oral History Program

Oral History Project Directory

This directory contains the most up-to-date list of our oral history projects. Before the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program transfers any interviews into the UF Libraries’ Digital Collection they undergo a thorough revision process. At this time, not every transcript is completed nor uploaded into the UFDC. For instant access to SPOHP’s entire collection, you can visit the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program located on the 2nd floor of Pugh Hall. The following are project collections that include audio, and some may contain transcripts. SPOHP is always looking for individuals that may assist in expanding the collections. Please contact us if you are interested in accessing any of the oral histories in this file for research purposes.
