In this space, we provide external links to other feminist oral history projects. In the future, we will also collect oral histories -- transcripts, as well as audio and video clips of oral histories. If you are interested in posting entire transcripts (or portions therein), please contact Stephanie Gilmore.

ACT-UP Oral History Project (link)

The ACT-UP Oral History Project collects interviews with surviving members of the AIDS Coalition to Unleash Power. From the website:

"The purpose of this project is to present comprehensive, complex, human, collective, and individual pictures of the people who have made up ACT UP/New York. These men and women of all races and classes have transformed entrenched cultural ideas about homosexuality, sexuality, illness, health care, civil rights, art, media, and the rights of patients. They have achieved concrete changes in medical and scientific research, insurance, law, health care delivery, graphic design, and introduced new and effective methods for political organizing. These interviews reveal what has motivated them to action and how they have organized complex endeavors. We hope that this information will de-mystify the process of making social change, remind us that change can be made, and help us understand how to do it."

The Maine Feminist Oral History Project (link)

From the website:
"The Maine Feminist Oral History Project (FOHP) at the University of Maine was organized in 1992 to collect and preserve the histories of feminists of the 1960s and 1970s and of the organizations they founded to effect social change. FOHP concerns itself with local small-town or rural activism at the grassroots level, rather than with the urban or national organizations that have received scholarly attention elsewhere."
