Once completed, UF s over 1,000 Native American interviews, along with photos and other media, will join collections from six other universities in an online hub nationally coordinated by the Association of Tribal Archives, Libraries & Museums.
Paul Ortiz, director of UF s oral history program, said the effort will take about two years and will increase accessibility to thousands of important cultural records by updating transcripts and creating high quality audio recordings and photos for online use. Digitizing and transcribing these precious oral histories and being able to place them on the University of Florida Digital Collections Library will make these interviews available to a much larger group of people, he said. Most Americans believe that Native Americans in the Southeast vanished or just disappeared. These interviews are testaments to the survival and success of Native Americans in the South.
