Reproductions of Audio or Video

 

We can provide copies of the audio and video content, such as oral histories or legislative recordings, that we maintain in the Library & Archives.

Oral Histories

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.
