Veterans Remember – This is an ongoing project that seeks to collect and document the memories, thoughts, and experiences of U.S. military veterans who live in Mesa County.
Mesa County Oral History Project – The MCOHP began as a joint project of the Museums of Western Colorado and Mesa County Libraries (MCL) in 1975 by collecting tape-recorded interviews with pioneers of Mesa County and surrounding areas and interviews with the children of pioneers. The Central Library housed the duplicate audio cassettes and provided patron access to the histories. The museum stored the master tapes and kept files and transcripts related to the oral history collection. This is an ongoing project.
