First submission of complete Oral History Packet by Vietnamese American Experience student, Camille Garcia!
Student, Camille Garcia, in the UCI Vietnamese American Experience class submitted the first complete oral history this morning. Her narrator is Mr. Tuan Nguyen, of Orange, California. Her complete oral history packet included the 2 hours of audio-recorded interview, all legal consent forms, original photographs of the narrator, a full 25-page single-spaced typed transcript, a time log summary of the topics discussed, an abstract and keywords and her field notes (observations) of the narrator and the interview process. This packet will then be transferred to the UCI Libraries for digital archiving and presentation. Keep a look-out for the complete Vietnamese American Experience class collection of oral histories the end of this academic year! We’re working diligently so YOU can start hearing and reading these stories very soon.

These presentations help students in the class see the big picture and connect their individual projects to each other’s. A diversity of stories are emerging from this class’ efforts. We will be putting the first batch of these interviews on the UCI Libraries website that is under construction at the moment, so please stay tuned to hear these stories and view the images and documents accumulated from this class.
