The library created this collection of materials for study and research.
The Cities of Destiny Oral History Project interviewed immigrants and minorities in Los
Angeles. These histories document interviewees life experiences, including their early years
in their native country, their journey to the United States, and their impressions of their
new home country. Interviewers for the project were students taking Liberal Arts 196 at Cal
State Northridge during the Spring semester of 1982.
The collection is divided into two series,
Audio Recordings
(1982) and
Transcripts (1982). Series I,
Audio Recordings, is further divided into two subseries:
Digital Audio (1982) and
Audio Cassettes (1982). The
interviews were originally recorded onto audiocassettes, and one interview has been
transcribed. Each series is arranged alphabetically by the last name of the narrator.
Series I: Audio Recordings, 1982
Subseries A: Digital Audio, 1982
Subseries B: Audiocassettes, 1982
Series II: Transcripts, 1982
