The East Carolina Manuscript Collection intends its history memoirs to complement and supplement the documentary holdings already in the Collection. Thus the staff normally plans oral history programs to record contemporary North Carolina leaders, U.S. Naval officers, other military personnel, missionaries, and tobacconists. Frequently, individuals who have donated their personal papers to the Collection also participate in the oral history program. This provides an extraordinary opportunity for researchers to access both the reminiscences and the personal papers of an individual. The oral history collections include audio or video taped interviews and typed and edited transcriptions, thereby making available both oral and typewritten accounts of historical events.

These interviews focus on the University of North Carolina foodworkers' strikes against the University of North Carolina Food Service, February-March 1969 (interviews E-55-82), and against SAGA Food Service, November-December 1969 (interviews E-83-92). The participants in the strikes were primarily African-American women, although many university groups ultimately became involved. The individuals interviewed include foodworkers, members of the Black Student Movement, members of the Southern Student Organizing Committee, and other students, mediators, lawyers, faculty members, and university officials. The interviews establish the chronology and role of each participant and address the issues of class, race, and gender raised by the strikes. Other topics include student protests in the 1960s, university-town relations, and the university's position in state government.

The interviews in this series were conducted by students of the University of North Carolina School of Law with prominent lawyers and judges in North Carolina. Most of the interviews deal with the interviewees' families and personal lives as well as with their legal careers and thoughts about the law and the legal profession.

Interviews by Kelly Navies explore the history of Stephens-Lee High School in Asheville, N.C. Built in 1923, Stephens-Lee was for many decades western North Carolina's only secondary school for African Americans. The school drew students from Buncombe, Henderson, Madison, Yancey, and Transylvania counties, and represented a focal point and a key source of pride for the extended African American community in the state's western region. In 1965, however, the all-white school board closed Stephens-Lee as part of its desegregation plan, and, in 1975, the entire multi-building campus, except for the gymnasium, was bulldozed. Navies interviewed former faculty, administrators, and students of Stephens-Lee to collect memories of the school and to assess the impact of desegregation and the school's closing on the black community in western North Carolina.

Interviews with flood victims, relief workers, ministers, farmers, farm workers, small-business owners, environmental monitors, and political leaders in eastern North Carolina about the devastating flooding in the aftermath of Hurricane Floyd. In the fall of 1999, soon after the flood, the Southern Oral History Program set out to document the catastrophe as part of its Listening for a Change initiative. Accompanied by photographer Rob Amberg, project coordinator Charlie Thompson led the effort to assess the environmental, political, and economic consequences of the disaster, as well as its impact on individual lives. Many broad themes emerged from Thompson's interviews: the sweeping toll of the flood on human lives
