This week’s Featured Online Resource (FOR) is Duke
University Library’s Behind the Veil Oral History Project (http://library.duke.edu/digitalcollections/behindtheveil/).
This project is a collection of recorded oral history interviews that chronicles
African-American life in the American South during the era segregation, dates
from the 1890s to the 1950s. Interviews were conducting during the early 1990s.
More than 400 of the 1260 interviews have been digitized and
can be listened to online. Additionally, many of the interviews include
transcripts of the recordings which can be downloaded in PDF format. The majority
of the interviews are from people who lived in North Carolina, but other
Southern states are also represented.
