An extraordinary discovery: Previously unknown recordings in the Theodore Roosevelt Association’s oral history project

Michael Patrick Cullinane recalls his discovery of oral history tapes at the Theodore Roosevelt Birthplace National Historic Site in New York City that contain interviews with eleven friends and family of Theodore Roosevelt. Cullinane describes the process of gaining access to the tapes and having them transferred to a digital format to allow for use by researchers. Cullinane provides highlights from the tapes, listing some of those interviewed and insights they offered on the Roosevelt family, and he notes that he has made much of the material from the tapes available in his book Remembering Theodore Roosevelt. Six photographs of participants in the oral history project illustrate the essay, and the mission and vision statements of the Theodore Roosevelt Association appear in a text box on the last page.
