ORAL HISTORY TOOLKIT

To help you contribute interviews to the Mississippi Oral History Project, we have created some standard forms that should be submitted with any interview. These forms are in Adobe Acrobat format. To view and print them, you will need the free Adobe Acrobat Reader, which can be found here.

To save these forms to your computer's hard drive, right-click [shift-click on a Macintosh] the link, then select "Save Target as..." in Internet Explorer or "Save Link as..." in Netscape, choose a directory, and click OK.
