Browse Oral Histories - Ohio River Portrait

This collection documents the history and traditions of Kentuckians living along the Ohio River. Almost 4000 photographs offered by 244 participants were copied at eleven Kentucky communities along the Ohio River during the spring and summer of 1990. In addition, nearly 200 oral history interviews provide personal recollections that complement the images. Original collection held at Western Kentucky University. Authorization must be granted by Western Kentucky University to use or publish by any means the archival material to which WKU holds copyright.
