Oral histories of Baldwin County residents, Baldwin County, Alabama DVDs  1-35

What began as a Foley High School history project recording oral histories of Baldwin County residents on VHS tapes in the early 1990s is now a new DVD collection for interested public. Filmed interviews by high school students recorded more than one hundred and twenty residents.

Through the efforts of the Baldwin County Genealogical Society, the City of Foley Museum and Archives, and the Foley Public Library, the VHS tapes have been converted by BCGS member Glen Wilson to DVDs to be more accessible to the public.  It should be noted that some of the recordings have poor sound and /or lighting. But the historical and genealogical value remains.

The collections are located in the Alabama, Local History and Genealogy Collections of the Foley Library and the City of Foley Museum. Copies are available for circulation by the interested public. Below is an alphabetical listing.  Most discs have multiple interviews. Asterisk denotes an interview also by author Tom Stoddard for his book “Foley steps forward”.
