Historical
Note
The
Oral History Collection consists primarily of interviews conducted for the two
Whitman College oral history projects. The first oral history project was started in
the early 1970s by Professor Donald King of the history department as a means of
teachings students a different historical method. The project was carried out by
students in oral history classes. The class, taught primarily by Professor King, was
offered until 1976. The main topic of the class was Walla Walla during the Great
Depression. Some students continued to work independently on oral histories into the
early 1980s.
In 1990, College Archivist Larry Dodd oversaw a second major oral history project.
This project was initiated to gather information for a general history of the
college and supported research for a the two-volume history of the college authored
by Professor G. Thomas Edwards. This project received $12,000 from the Board of
Overseers to purchase tape recorders and tapes; interviews were conducted by alumni
volunteers. Before beginning their interviews, volunteers received training from
Professor King on conducting oral history interviews and were given an orientation
to the history of the college by Professor Edwards. The program ended in
1999.
In addition to material from these two projects, the collection contains
additional interviews conducted by Professor Edwards for his history of the college
and a few other contemporary college-related oral histories.
The
majority of the materials in this collection are cassette tapes and accompanying
transcripts and release forms. The tapes contain interviews that date primarily
between 1990 and 1998. Those interviewed range from college administrators and
faculty to alumni and friends of the college
Oral histories conducted for Professor King’s class focus on Walla Walla during the
Great Depression. Interviewees for Dodd’s and Edwards’s projects are asked about
their individual background, their Whitman experience, and important events which
occurred while they were involved with the College.
