Louie B. Nunn Center for Oral History
The Center, located in the Special Collections of the University of Kentucky Libraries, houses recordings of personal recollections, information not available anywhere else. There are thousands of hours of memories in the oral recordings collections, including African American Farmers; the Blacks in Lexington Oral History Project, 1900-1989; the Black Church in Kentucky Oral History Project, 1978-1985; Race Relations in Owensboro-Daviess County, Kentucky, 1930-1970; and the Robert Penn Warren Civil Rights Oral History Project. The analog tapes are being digitized and eventually all of them will be available online along with the transcripts. For more information about the Louie B. Nunn Center for Oral History or the UK Oral History Collection, call (859) 257-0189. To view the complete list of oral history recordings, including those in reference to African Americans, see the Louie B. Nunn Center for Oral History online database, SPOKEdb.
