Biographical or Historical Data
In 1980 a Newton Free Library (NFL) Reference Librarian, Susan Cain, began organizing the NFL Oral History Program: "A History of Trades and Craftspersons in Newton, 1920-1950." Interview subjects were chosen, senior history majors at Boston College and NFL librarians interviewed, and Northeastern University students indexed the audiotapes. The purpose was to record personal testimony about working conditions, family life, community events such as the advent of the telephone and automobile, the Great Depression, World War II, the building of major roads through the City, and hurricanes. The user's guides in this collection give the name of the compiler, interviewee, interviewer and table of contents of interviews with audiotape counter numbers.
