Hidden Histories Collection [OH.BR002]

Six oral histories were collected over the course of two months, November and December, in 2023. Three of the interviews are fairly short. Two of them focus on the logistics of the tour days, and another is a highlight of what one of the guest speakers discussed. The other three interviews are with co-hosts of the tour buses. These interviewees go over the tour stops and add additional historical details.

History of Blue Ridge Community College Collection [OH.BR001]

An ongoing collection that was started in October 2023. It currently has one interview with former English instructor Katie Winkler, who taught at Blue Ridge Community College for 30 years.
