About
the Collection
-
Archives
and Manuscripts Division, Oklahoma Historical Society
- There are only two complete
bound sets of originals.
- The OHS index is more
comprehensive... listing localities, events,
customs, places, people, etc. and makes the OHS
set the most valuable. The best place to
view the volumes and to consult the [card file]
index is at OHS. The bound set at the
Archives consists of 112 volumes. There is no
volume 111. There are over 55,000 pages in this
set and over 85,000 index cards, many with several
entries. These interviews include quite a
bit of genealogical information. The set and
index have been microfilmed by the Archives and
can be purchased.
- University of Oklahoma (OU)
and the Oklahoma Historical Society (OHS),
Archives and Manuscripts Division indices are
different because they were done separately after
the volumes were bound. Both sets have card
indices, but since they were bound differently, you
can't use the index at OU for the set at the OHS
Archives.

The bound set
at OU has been put on microfiche. It is available
for purchase from Norman Ross
Publishing, NY. Per the librarian in the
Western History Collections - they have a card
catalog of the index on site at the University of
Oklahoma, Western History Library.[10-98]

The following index
transcribed by Gay Wall -
walltribe@earthlink.net (1998-1999) was complied from a
microfiche index of "Indian Pioneer Papers Project, part of
the Western History Collection, University of Oklahoma" ordered
from the Family History Center (FHC) *.
The number of the microfiche is shown for each volume which can be
ordered through the Mormon Family History Library (FHL) for .15
cents per microfiche for indefinite use at the library in your
area.
We owe many many thanks to Gay
Wall for her dedication to this Project since July
1998. I hope you will take a moment to let her know
how much you appreciate her hard work and dedication.
About
the Collection
In 1936, the [Oklahoma Historical] society
teamed with the history department at the University of Oklahoma
to get a Works Progress
Administration (WPA) writers' project grant for an interview
program. The project employed more than 100 writers scattered
across the state, with headquarters in Muskogee, where Grant
Foreman served as project director. Asked to "call upon early
settlers and (record) the story of the migration to Oklahoma and
their early life here" the writers conducted more than 11,000
interviews, edited the accounts into written form, and sent them
to the project director who completed the editorial process and
had them typed into more than 45,000 pages. When assembled, the
Indian-Pioneer Papers consisted of 112 volumes, with one set at
the university, the other at the society. There are only
two complete bound sets of originals.
