Gregory Bush Florida Community Studies Oral Histories

201 Items

Professor Gregory Bush (History Department) and the Institute for Public History (IPH) have recorded a series of interviews around the issue of public spaces in South Florida. Participants, who are representative of the diverse cultural milieu of the region, reflect and provide insights on migration, gentrification, the history of individual neighborhoods, housing, and community services.

These voices help to articulate the ongoing discourse on public space as it applies to South Florida’s History of development. The recordings and accompanying transcripts of the oral history collection document the unique experiences of the region’s inhabitants. In addition, the collection serves as a repository of primary source materials for students, faculty and the general public.

This collection is open for research. Interviews with formal release forms have been digitized and are available in our Digital Collections. Interviews without formal release forms are only accessible and available onsite in the Special Collections Reading Room, through the original audio cassette and VHS recordings.
