The Salida
Oral History Project is preserving the history and heritage of Salida
through interviews of long-time residents and other knowledgeable
people who have lived and worked in the area. People share stories of
their childhood, schooling, family, church, outings, celebrations,
friends, hobbies, and events that still live in their memories. The
interviews will be kept forever so that others can learn from these
true historians' words.
Maybe you know of some prospective interviewees...or, would you like
to be interviewed? Salida Regional Library's Archive is organizing
and promoting this project. Earle Kittleman, who is on the board of
Historic Salida, Inc. and the Salida Museum, is helping
coordinate the project. Karin Chapman is a professional historian
specializing in oral history, specifically, ethnic groups, railroad,
mining and immigrant labor.
The Oral History Project is co-sponsored by The Salida Regional
Library and Historic Salida, Inc., and is composed mostly of
volunteers.
