Digitized Audio Recordings

Our department recently acquired an audio cassette to MP3 converter to digitize our small oral history collection.  Those recordings can be found on this blog under "Oral History."  Many thanks to the individuals who took the time to record these interviews.  We hope to do a similar project soon.  If you'd like to record your oral history or interview a relative, please contact me at jama.watts@marioncopublic.org or call 270.692.4698.
