In the early 1970s, local historian Charlene Tresner first established a Fort Collins oral history project to collect the memories of people residing in Fort Collins and Larimer County. The Archive at Fort Collins Museum of Discovery has hundreds of oral histories in the collection stemming from this oral history project as well as other later projects; most of these interviews have verbatim transcripts available for research at the Archive and online through our Fort Collins History Connection website. A digitization project for these cassettes is in progress; over 200 cassettes were converted to digital format in 2017, and 200 more will be converted in 2018.
