CSJE 390b: Oral History / New Haven History (Spring, 2005)

As part of the college seminar program, the NHOHP offered the first undergraduate course in Yale’s history focusing on oral history. All of the students designed their own oral history projects, on topics ranging from the closing of St. Boniface Church to the founding of High School in the Community. All of the interviews have been transcribed and are now part of the NHOHP Collection. The class was co-sponsored by Jonathan Edwards College and Morse College.
