| HISTORICAL NOTE |
| Hi369 Oral History and Testimonio is an Augustana course first taught by Dr. Molly Todd during Winter term of the 2008-2009 academic year. The class focused on the oral history tradition in both theory and practice. The 2008-2009 and 2010-2011 students conducted an oral history interview with an Augustana alumnus to piece together "the Augustana Story." The 2012-2013 class conducted interviews with Augustana alumni, Quad Cities residents, and former Rock Island Arsenal employees to answer the question "Was World War II a good war?" Subsequent class projects may vary in subject or theme, but the overall goal will remain to better understand and practice oral history. The LSFY Papers were written based on oral interviews of retired Augsutana professors in 2011. |
