In the First Person: an index to letters, diaries, oral histories and personal narratives
This website provides an excellent portal to primary resources available on the Web. It indexes more than 2,500 international oral history collections in English. The title accurately indicates the content, and a quick review of the collections gives the scope. Best of all, it is free!
The home page is well organized, with links to a table of contents that includes sections titled Repositories, Collections, Interviews, Interview Date, Places, Historical Events, and All Subjects. The quick search feature allows searching by keyword; results show the search term as it appears in the context of the transcript. Links take users to the interview’s host institution.
Indexed collections include the Hollywood Film Industry Project, Holocaust Survivor Oral History Archive, and Japanese American Relocation Digital Archive: Oral Histories. [Choice Reviewed 2006 January]
