Mellon
Foundation Provides Major Support for Joint Project
An historic $937,000 grant from the Andrew W. Mellon Foundation
of New York marks an important milestone for Southern Oral
History Program’s ongoing Long Civil Rights Movement
initiative. The three-year grant—“Publishing
the Long Civil Rights Movement”—is a collaborative
effort by SOHP, UNC Press, the Center for Civil Rights in
the School of Law and UNC library that allows the SOHP to
join its partners in exploring new ways of producing and
disseminating Civil Rights Movement-related scholarship
through print and digital media. [more]

SOHP
and UNC Library Debut Digital Database
With the assistance of a $505,232 grant from the Institute
for Museum and Library Services, the SOHP and the UNC Library
are nearing completion of a digitization and publication
project that provides unprecedented online access to more
than 500 oral history interviews conducted by the SOHP over
the past thirty years. With this project, "Oral Histories
of the American South," users are already able to search
more than 400 interviews by theme, access them at the point
of their interest, and, with a few clicks of the mouse,
hear the spoken word, read the related transcript text,
and learn from additional historical commentary. We invite
you to visit the database,
and to send us your thoughts and feedback as the project
enters its final phase. [more]

the SOHP is a component program. [more]

History Program Collection can now be accessed via an online
