Oral History Project

The Victim Oral History Project is the story of the victims' rights movement as documented through multiple interviews, photographs, video, audio, and other textual documents of significance to the victim assistance field. The entire collection (with more than 55 interviews) is housed "on-site" at the University of Akron's library. An online version is also avialable to the public with a smaller resolution video playback screen.

The public, from researchers, academicians, victim assistance providers and news media to students, have online access to the Victim Oral History Project via the Internet.

Visitors to the University of Akron's library archive, will also have access to the hard copy collection of documents of historical significance to the crime victims' field that were cataloged as part of the library's holdings.

The Oral History Project is a unique resource to learn more about the victims' rights movement and its evolution.  If you have any questions about the Oral History Project, please feel free to contact David Beatty, Project Manager, Justice Solutions, by e-mail at dbeatty@justicesolutions.org.
