Oral Histories

The Center for Pacific War Study's oral history program secures the stories of those who lived through WWII. Since beginning the program in 1988, dedicated volunteer oral historians have interviewed more than 5,000 veterans. A selection of the recordings and transcripts are available to the public at the Center for Pacific War Study's new Digital Archive. Volunteers will continue to post interviews as they are transcribed and cataloged.
