HAL Oral History Project

The Hudson Area Library Oral History Project was a broad based program undertaken to collect oral histories that would reflect and add to the library’s local history resources. The oral histories in this collection were created by participants in a workshop with Oral History Summer School led by Founder and Director Suzanne Snider, with assistance from Melinda Braathen. Contract and volunteer community members collected oral histories on the library's behalf and the materials are the property of the Hudson Area Library.
