Rockcastle County Oral History Project
This collection began with the Kentucky Oral History Commission's effort to establish oral history programs in each of the state's 120 counties. County libraries worked with local volunteers to collect interviews. Since 1987, county oral histories have been generated primarily by recipients of technical assistance grants from the commission that provide training and equipment to volunteer interviewers. Interviews donated by independent researchers are also included.
You may encounter language you find harmful or offensive in the Kentucky Historical Society’s online collections. KHS collects, preserves, and provides access to materials from different periods and cultures. These materials document the views of their creator and the period when they were created. As a result, some may demonstrate racist and offensive views that do not reflect the values of the Kentucky Historical Society.
