Project description: Thanks to the generosity of the John W. Emery Family, in 2018 History Colorado hired an Assistant Curator of Oral History to manage all aspects of History Colorado’s oral history collections.

The goal of the project includes adding the material to the Argus database and increasing its exposure and access.
