Oral histories are primary-source first-person narrative recordings that help to share the story of the past. At times, an interview may serve as the only source information available about a certain place, event or person. Oral history helps us understand how individuals and communities experienced life in a specific time and/or dealt with major historic events. The Chinese American Museum Project was able to capture the personal stories of several members of the Chinese and Chinese American community in Fresno County, these are their stories.
