Aroostook County Oral History Project
In June 1971, the Aroostook County libraries received a grant of $15,000 from Title I, LSCA Funds for the development of an informal oral history of the county. The project, with Mrs. Charlotte A. Melvin as historical consultant and with twelve libraries cooperating, was completed as proposed in September, 1972 and resulted in 115 cassettes, twenty of which are in French and two in Swedish.
As might be expected, the majority of the contributors were Senior Citizens, several of them well up in their 90's. The taped interviews with these people in the Saint John Valley, the Swedish settlement, the Syrian colony, the Allagash, and in all the major towns of the county have established a permanent and fascinating record of a time now gone by.
Subjects covered in the oral history are early farming and machinery, railroading, folksongs and folklore, politics, town meetings, smuggling, cross-border activities, Indians, sporting camps, schools and schooling, tall tales, and everything else that has made up the culture of the county.
Each participating library has a complete set of the cassettes for loan in its area. The Maine State Library has three sets, plus the general index, for loan throughout the state, and the Library of Congress, Folk Music Division, has several sets for loan nationally.
