The Oral History Office (OHO at UConn) was established as the Oral History Project in 1968 and began to expand in the late seventies in response to a growing professional interest in this research technique. It was designated a Center by the University's Board of Trustees in 1981; the Center's name was changed to the Oral History Office in 2007. It continues to increase both the number of research projects coming under its umbrella and the services it provides.
Center-based activities have been supported by funding from such agencies as the National Endowment for the Humanities, the Connecticut Humanities Council and the U.S. Office of Education, as well as by private sources and the University of Connecticut.
Publications originating from the Center include: Mills and Meadows: A Pictorial History of Northeastern Connecticut, From the Old Country: An Oral History of European Migration to America, Connecticut Workers and Technological Change, and Witnesses to Nuremberg: American Participants at the War Crime Trials.
Oral history interviews have been transferred periodically.
