Public history is a collaborative exploration of inclusive history that is accessible to the public.
The EOU Oral History Project is a collection of interviews that provides a perspective of campus life from former students and currently retiring professors. It provides an exploration of campus life through oral histories complied by current public history students to make the history of Eastern Oregon University accessible to the public. Interviewers were encouraged to ask insightful and relevant questions to compile and accurate description of the campus and reflect upon the changes the campus has gone through since its beginnings in 1929.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
