Oral History Project

Description

As time goes by, we are losing some of our older community members and with them, their experiences of living in Security-Widefield in the early years of our community's development.

Through our Oral History Project, we seek to preserve and share their stories.

Would you like to share your story? Contact us to discuss setting up an interview.
