Welcome!
The Texas Newspaper Oral History Project comprises interviews with leaders and innovators in the Texas newspaper industry.
The project, funded by the Texas Newspaper Foundation, is spearheaded by Professor Wanda Garner Cash.
The project seeks to tape interviews with active and retired newspaper leaders reflecting upon the impact, intersection and interaction of Texas history and Texas newspapers.
Those interviews will create an archive of primary source material, with hyperlinks to the interview subjects’ newspapers and other Texas newspaper resources. Eventually, the personal histories will be housed as printed transcripts and digital audio recordings at the Center for American History at the University of Texas Austin. The oral history project will be a natural complement to the center’s Texas newspaper collection.
