Project Details
Waco History is a joint venture by two programs at Baylor University, the Institute for Oral History and The Texas Collection , in Waco, Texas. The Institute for Oral History houses the work of Waco History, identifying sites, supervising the creation of entries, and coordinating public partnerships for the project. Their collection of over 7,000 oral history enrich Waco History’s audio and video content. The Texas Collection shares its significant holdings on local history, heritage, and culture here. In particular, The Texas Collection’s wealth of historic images of Waco and McLennan County provide Waco History’s visual elements.
