Oral Histories

Interviewing and documenting the memories of early Orange County arrivals and their descendants is our most important activity. Volunteers conduct the interviews. The Center for Oral and Public History at California State University, Fullerton, preserves the oral tapes and prints, edits and publishes the books. Over one hundred books have been published to date and are available for reference in the following locations:
