Mathews Oral History Project

The Mathews County Historical Society began a project in 2014, with a grant from the Virginia Humanities and matching funds provided by the county, to preserve the history of Mathews County, Virginia by audio recording memories of the people who lived here. The project, part of the Virginia Fieldwork in Folklore, was developed in partnership among the Mathews County Historical Society, the Mathews Memorial Library, the Fairfield Foundation, and the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program.

UMass Dartmouth - Portuguese Oral History Projects

This collection began with a group of 74 personal narratives created as the result of a UMass Dartmouth Sociology Department student project which took place under the direction of professors Donna Huse and Bela Feldman-Bianco between 1987 and the early 1990s. It includes interviews of a wide variety of individuals from southeastern Massachusetts of Portuguese descent, many of which immigrated from the Azores, but also many who were born here of immigrant parents.
