"Juniors to Seniors: Hillsborough Remembers" was a project designed to create and encourage improved understanding and communication between generations in Hillsborough County through a program of oral history collection that connects younger and older citizens in a positive educational environment.
Seniors in Hillsborough County were interviewed about their memories. These recorded and transcribed interviews will become a permanent part of the collection in the History and Genealogy Department of the Tampa-Hillsborough County Public Library System. The interviews will be available to future researchers and to the public. It is our hope that this collection will serve to encourage future cooperation and interaction between the generations to preserve the memories of our older citizens as an important historical resource and to serve as a model for continued efforts in collecting and preserving an important community resource. The interview collection and this web site have been made possible by the award of a Library and Services Technology Act grant from the State Library of Florida. To reflect the broadened scope the oral history project had grown into, on November 17, 2006 the website was renamed "Hillsborough Remembers". The site can be accessed by visiting http://memories.hcplc.org/. |
