UC Berkeley Oral History CenterThe Oral History Center provides resources for K-16 educators to help students learn through oral history, as well as opportunities for undergraduates to get experience in oral history process and production. For decades, the Oral History Center has partnered with educational resource organizations, such as the California History-Social Science Project, to build curriculum content for K-16 educators using our oral history collection. Our collection provides a wealth of firsthand accounts relevant to classes on American history, world history, and government, including interviews on civil rights, immigration, politics, and LGBTQ history, to name just a few. The resources in this section include individual lesson plans for specific topics, such as epidemics in history; user guides for our search tool; and sample projects with multimedia components. Opportunities for undergraduates include internships, student employment, and prizes.
