The Kentucky Historical Society has finished digitizing its entire oral history collection: more than 8,600 interviews recorded on 13 different media, from reel-to-reel tape and cassettes to VHS and Betamax. Twenty years in the making, the project includes the 3,000-interview county collection featuring voices from almost every Kentucky county, stories that were once locked away on obsolete analog formats and are now far easier to reach.
