Content Description

The Carbon County oral history project (1972-1993) consist of oral histories from residents of Carbon County, Utah. While the main emphasis is on living in coal mine country, the interviews are verbal snapshots of rural Utah life from the earliest settlers to as recently as 1993. The interviews have been alphabetized by the last names. In the few instances where there are two subjects in one interview, look alphabetically for the placement of the name; there will be a note as to its location.
