Scope and Contents

Bicentennial Oral History Project, 1975-1976. Members of the Alaska Chapter of the Future Homemakers of America conducted 35 interviews in 11 Alaskan communities during 1975-1976. The interviews are concerned with life in Alaska before 1950 and are recollections of dating, transportation, education, clothing, occupations, food, holidays, marriage, church, medicine, recreation and crises.

The interviews are usually accompanied by an oral history agreement and historical questionnaire furnishing basic information on the narrator (interviewee). The oral history tapes were done on cassette and most have transcriptions.

A booklet titled I Remember We Used To…(Haines, Chilkat Press, 1976.) provides an overview of the oral history project including people interviewed, advisors on the project, etc.
