Oral Histories

Lunch & Learn: What’s in a Story?

In the 1970s, the Historical Society of Central Florida began collecting and preserving interviews with Central Floridians, capturing their lived experiences in their own words. Our oral history collection now contains more than 800 interviews, and we’re constantly adding more.

Do you, or someone you know, have stories related to our seven-county region (Brevard, Lake, Orange, Osceola, Polk, Seminole, and Volusia)? We’d love to hear from you! Please contact Rachel.Williams@ocfl.net to discuss the interview.
