GVSU to Conduct Another Oral History Collection Effort

ALLENDALE, MI (WHTC) – The Office of Local History at Grand Valley State University plans to collect oral histories of this state’s migrant workers this summer, thanks in part to an 11-thousand-500-dollar Comment Heritage Grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities. The Allendale school will add 23 thousand dollars of its own to this program. The work will be done in Oceana County in conjunction that county’s Hispanic Center and Historical and Genealogical Societies. A similar oral history collection effort done in the Holland area this fall is exhibited at the Herrick District Library through December.
