ABOUT THE DIGITAL ARCHIVE

Four unidentified Boulder, Colorado Sanitarium nurses, 1910s

The Maria Rogers Oral History Program (MROHP) Collection contains more than 1,300 interviews about all aspects of life in Boulder County, from pioneers to agriculture, mining, businesses, the arts, education, daily life during various decades, cities and mountain towns in the county, government policies and city planning, open space programs, women, immigrant and ethnic populations, rock climbing and mountaineering, politics and political activists, the Rocky Flats Nuclear Weapons Plant, and much more.

While the actual collection is archived at the Carnegie Library for Local History (1125 Pine St., Boulder, Colorado), the audio, summaries, and transcripts of the interviews have been digitized and stored in this searchable digital archive, accessible via the internet.

The oral history digital archive is linked to the Boulder Public Library's computer catalog to make it easy to find interviews of interest. To find interviews by subject, click on Library Catalog and do a WORD search using a topic or a name plus the words "oral history."
