We can provide copies of the audio and video content, such as oral histories or legislative recordings, that we maintain in the Library & Archives.
Find our oral histories by searching the catalog or looking at our Finding Aids. Many of our oral histories are also available via the Montana History Portal. In addition to audio, we have electronic transcripts for most oral histories.
To request a digital copy of an oral history, please submit a research request. In your request, please include the title of the oral history (or name of the person being interviewed) and the call number, e.g. OH 240 - Herbert Carlisle interview.
Before requesting copies of audio or video from us, please check the Montana State Legislature's website. They provide online access to recordings from 2005-present.
We hold copies of legislative recordings from 1997-2011. To get a copy of a recording from us, please submit a research request and include in your request the committee name and the specific date.
For more information on legislative recordings and conducting legislative research, please see our Legislative History Guide.
