In cooperation with the UW-La Crosse Oral History Program (OHP), Special Collections provides preservation storage and public accessibility for over 3,000 recorded hours of OHP interviews conducted from 1968 to the present. A small portion of OHP interviews are available online on Murphy Library Digital Collections, and additional recordings are being added each semester. Moreover, as a participating member of Recollection Wisconsin's Listening to War project, several of the collection's war-related oral histories can be found on that website. Please send any requests for copies of interviews directly to OHP.
