Ogeechee Riverkeeper Oral Histories
About the Collection
Collection preserves Ogeechee Riverkeeper Oral Histories collection. These oral histories were funded by Ogeechee Riverkeeper beginning in 2016 to document the history and lived experiences of the people who live along and use the Ogeechee River in Georgia in the past and present. Documentation is in various forms, such as audio recordings, photographs, and artifacts. During oral history interviews, interviewees were asked to share personal experiences and perceptions regarding their land, their home, the Ogeechee River, its creeks, streams, and drainage areas, their kinship and land-use relationships, history of their family along with the Ogeechee River and in the region, everyday experiences of life along the Ogeechee, and anything else that was important about their connection to the Ogeechee River and surrounding areas.
