Find Oral Histories 

The Hogan Archive Oral History finding aid lists the oral histories on file with the Hogan Archive of New Orleans Music and New Orleans Jazz at Tulane University Special Collections (TUSC). They are arranged in alphabetical order by name of interviewee. Most of the oral history interviews have transcripts, digests, or notes available. 

Through collaboration with Music Rising at Tulane University, many Hogan Archive Oral Histories are now streaming online via the Music Rising website. If there is a transcript or digest available for an interview, it is a searchable PDF and available on the Music Rising website.
