Recently conducted interviews include Gator athletes who participated in the U.S. Olympics and a former football coach. We are working closely with the University of Florida Athletic Association on this project. Interviews available on the OHP website are excerpts from transcripts. In most cases, little editing has been done. Therefore, names, dates, and place names have not been checked for accuracy.
Some interviews have an abstract available for viewing on the Internet.
Full interviews are available at the program s office in Yon Hall. Copyright on all materials are held by the University of Florida Oral History Program. Information about the Program Oral History is an invaluable method of gathering and preserving the history of the past through interviews with participants. The purpose of the program is to preserve for future generations an eyewitness account of the economic, social, political, religious, and intellectual life of Florida and the South. Approximately 3,800 interviews in the collection and more than 350,000 pages of transcribed material are not part of the collection, making it the largest oral history archives in the South and one of the major collections in the country.
