The Center was established as the Oral History Project in 1968 and began to
expand in the late seventies in response to a growing professional interest in this
research technique. It was designated a Center by the University's Board of
Trustees in 1981 and continues to increase both the number of research projects
coming under its umbrella and the services it provides.
