The Oral History Collection of the Winter Park Public Library is composed of taped interviews with Winter Park citizens who gave first-hand accounts of some aspect of Winter Park history which would otherwise go unrecorded. This collection supplements and enhances the other collections held in the Winter Park Public Library History and Archives Department. There are currently 35 tapes in this collection.
The Winter Park History and Archives Department is currently in the process of having the existing cassette tapes digitized to CDs so that portions of the interviews may be made available on the Internet. This collection is a work in progress and new oral histories will be added as the tapes are digitized. During this process, written transcripts are available in the Winter Park Public Library's History and Archives Department.
The interview excerpts can only be played on a Windows Media Player
at this time. Windows Media Player is included with the Windows XP operating system.
