Oral
History Interviews
Since 1997, ATA has been recording 'oral history' interviews with veteran trappers and hunters from around the state. The Hunter Heritage Foundation of Alaska is also a partner in this effort.
The
primary purpose of the project is to preserve the memories of
people who live an active outdoor lifestyle. In this way, we can
help maintain the traditions of consumptive use. The secondary
purpose is to share these memories with a wide audience. Material
gathered during the interviews has appeared in both newspaper and
magazine articles. Excerpts of the audio recordings have been
broadcast on radio. Audio CD copies and hard-copy transcripts are
available for sale on this web site.
Read some of the brief biographic sketches in this section. Select an audio CD or written transcript. We're sure that you will enjoy hearing stories of life on The Last Frontier.
Audio CDs containing interviews with the people featured here are available for $5 each.
Thanks to a
grant from ConocoPhillips, we are also able to offer hardcopy Transcripts
of selected oral history interviews. Price is the same ($5.00)
as for the audio CD recordings (please add $5 for overseas mail).
