Hi, all. I'm writing my master's thesis based on an oral history project I did on an environmental movement in Austin, Texas. I have not yet seen any scholarly writing on OH methodology specific to environmental history and was hoping to hear from this community regarding scholarship along these lines. Thank you for any leads.

With great sadness, I announce that Nunn Center founder and former OHA president Terry Birdwhistell passed away this week. Terry served in many roles in the University of Kentucky Libraries throughout his 50-year career, but oral history was always at the center.
