CGU’s Mormon Studies Program seeks to annually fund an oral history project in a global location. Funding might cover travel, housing, transcription, and translation while a scholar or community member conducts 20-50 oral histories in a particular location.
These audio recordings, transcriptions, and translations will be housed at Special Collections of the Claremont Colleges Libraries. The Global Mormon Oral History Project is available to assist recipients of this funding with suggestions for Agreements to Participate, interview questions, and transcription guidelines.
