These collections of oral history interviews are from the holdings of the Department of Special Collections at J. Murrey Atkins Library, UNC Charlotte. The interviews, conducted by UNC Charlotte faculty, students and staff as well as several community organizations, document the history, life, and culture of the Charlotte region from a range of perspectives.

Featured here are the oral history recordings selected for digitization as part of the project Living Charlotte: The Postwar Development of a New South City, which documents many social aspects of postwar Charlotte, including the eras of segregation and desegregation in education, civil rights activism, and other topics.
