Oral History Project

The Retiree’s Council is partnering with senior honor society All Maine Women (AMW) to interview retirees to build an archive of oral histories (stored in Fogler Library Special Collections). The Council’s former long-term member and AMW Alumna Marian Dressler led the development of this project. The AMW have prepared videos of portions of their interviews starting with the 2018/2019 school year.
