Marvin S. Bargar Audiovisual Collections: Oral History

We’re excited to share that the Jewish Historical Society of Greater New Haven is preparing to start recording oral history interviews again! With over 300 interviews in our collection—capturing the stories, traditions, and experiences of our community—we are eager to add new voices and ensure these invaluable histories are accessible for generations to come.

Ways to get involved:

  • Be an Interviewer – Help record the memories of community members. (One training session is required—you can attend one of the following: in-person at the EHC on June 17, or over Zoom on June 25. See below for more details.)
  • Be a Narrator – Have a history to tell? We’d love to hear it!
  • Transcribe Interviews – Turn spoken stories into written records.

If you’re interested in volunteering in any capacity, please fill out this form, or contact us at info@jewishhistorynh.org
