The Pelham Oral History Project:
Between 1979 and 1981, Barbara Benda Jenkins conducted 21 oral history sound recordings with long-time Pelham residents. The recordings were transcribed by a number of volunteers, and then, in 2003, were electronically transcribed by Happi Cramer. In a few instances, the transcripts have been edited for on-line presentation. Editorial notations are signified with brackets [ ]. The complete, unedited texts as well as the sound recordings themselves are available at the Pelham Free Public Library History Room. — Robert Lord Keyes – February 12, 2005 Pelham Oral History Project: Part 1 PDF or Microsoft Word Part 1 Includes conversations with: Flora Adriance, Daniel Henry Allen, Mark Aldrich, Harold Bohmer, George W.
