Revitalizing Native American Oral Histories at the University of Florida

Abstract

Beginning in 2020, the George A. Smathers Libraries and the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program have partnered on a Doris Duke Charitable Foundation (DDCF)-funded project to revitalize a collection of over 1,000 legacy Native American oral history materials from the late 1960s to the 1970s. This article shares the project's progress and illustrates enduring considerations for working with Indigenous collections.
