Oral History CHC

Focusing on California and regional studies, the California History Center and CHC Foundation present exhibits, offer classes with De Anza College, publish a periodical, and operate a library and archives. Special events, including lectures, panel discussions and workshops are also featured.

Emphasizing living history, the center provides students with a unique opportunity to "encounter the historic site, document, or experienced individual, and personally interpret and recreate a period in history." Student interns and volunteers are currently helping to digitize and expand our collection of over 400 historic oral history recordings.

This channel is the History Center's repository for oral histories, event recordings, and other audio/video media.
