Upcoming Events
October 17, 2012, 3:30 pm
The Lives, the Legends, and the Legacies: Voices from the O-STATE Stories Oral History Project
Peggy V. Helmerich Browsing Room, Edmon Low Library, Oklahoma State University campus
The Oklahoma Oral History Research Program (OOHRP) at the OSU Library will celebrate Homecoming 2011 with “The Lives, the Legends, and the Legacies: Voices from the O-STATE Stories Oral History Project” on Wednesday, October 17th from 3:30-5:00 pm in the Peggy V. Helmerich Browsing Room, Edmon Low Library.
Since 2006, the O-STATE Stories Oral History Project has chronicled the rich history, heritage, and traditions of Oklahoma State University through oral history interviews. With over 300 recordings in the collection, a wide array of memories illustrate life at Oklahoma A&M and Oklahoma State from the perspective of alumni, students, faculty, staff, and supporters.
The OOHRP's Mary Larson noted, "We get to hear so many wonderful recollections of campus life when we conduct and process interviews, and we love to share those. While our collection is always available online, we wanted to take this opportunity to highlight some of those stories and showcase them for the public at Homecoming."
Speakers for the event will include OOHRP faculty members Tanya Finchum, Mary Larson, Juliana Nykolaiszyn, and Julie Pearson-Little Thunder.
The lecture is sponsored by the OSU Library, the Oklahoma Oral History Research Program, and the Center for Oklahoma Studies.

November 2, 2012, 7:00 pm
Dust Bowl Cabaret
Peggy V. Helmerich Browsing Room, Edmon Low Library, Oklahoma State University campus
Come hear the 198 String Band as they present a multimedia experience centering on songs from the Dust Bowl. The members of the group -- Tom Naples, Michael Frisch, and Margaret Milliron -- are musicians and historians who are interested as much in the context of songs as in their content. They have uncovered archival versions of a number of little-known songs written by Dust Bowl survivors and migrants, and they have merged that music with historical images for a very moving presentation.
The Friday night performance will begin at 7:00 with a light reception, and music will start at 7:30. For more information on the 198 String Band and their previous presentations, visit http://www.musicfromthedepression.com/index.html |
