 KERR COUNTY ORAL HISTORY PROJECT

The Kerr County Historical Commission established the Oral History Project in 1998 to document the first-person accounts of descendants of Texas Hill Country pioneers and other citizens who’ve contributed to our heritage.  To date, we've taped and transcribed some 50 interviews and scanned more than 800 photographs. . We are seeking grant funds to digitize the audio and video recordings for future preservation.  These oral histories are available to the public at the Kerr Regional History Center, located at 425 Water Street in Kerrville, and in the Logan Library on the Schreiner University Campus.  Each history is has been assembled in two formats which allow reading from a printed manuscript or viewing the manuscript on a computer screen.

Below is a list of the Oral Histories compiled by the KCHC. Click on the names with clickable links to view an abstract of the oral history.
