Samuel Proctor Oral History Program - Native American History Project
University of Florida Digital Collections - Native Peoples of the Americas
A collection of more than 1,000 oral history interviews digitized from over 2,000 audio tapes recorded between 1967 – 2000. Originally funded by Doris Duke, the recordings consist of oral history interviews with members of Tribal communities east of the Mississippi and includes voices of the Catawba, Cherokee, Choctaw, Creek, Lumbee, and Seminole peoples. Recent funding from the Doris Duke Charitable Foundation allowed for the revitalization of this collection. The University of Florida has partnered with the originating Tribes and Nations and the Association of Tribal Archives, Libraries, and Museums to create the Archive of Native American Oral History - a digital collection representing over 6,000 oral histories from over 160 Indigenous communities.
Oral history interviews in the Catawba Indian Nation Collection are no longer available online and are being co-curated by UF and the Catawba Nation Archives. UF collaborated with the Catawba Cultural Center Archives for this project. Please reach out to the Catawba Archives regarding oral histories; the collection is currently for Tribal members only.
