Oral History Collaboration with UAFS

In February and March of 2024, UAFS students, instructors, staff, and Sisters began the first series of oral history interviews as a collaboration between the two entities. The UAFS Pebley Center acquired a grant to record the histories of underrepresented individuals and communities. The UAFS faculty, staff, and students will continue to record the oral history of the Benedictine Sisters and their history in Arkansas and Fort Smith as part of their semester-long projects until both groups feel all the stories that need preservation have been told.
