Content Description

The KVOO Voice Library consists of 181 reel-to-reel sound recordings dating from the 1920s through the 1950s. The recordings include comments, interviews, and speeches of Oklahoma citizens and public figures, United States congressional and military figures, as well as foreign political and social leaders. The subjects they encompass include social, agricultural, and political issues, natural disasters, crimes, prevalent attitudes towards minorities, and human interest stories, on local, national and international levels. The recordings are indexed alphabetically by subject or surname, and are cross referenced when necessary. The current index has been adapted from the original which accompanied the voice library upon its acquisition.
