UNT students, faculty, and staff have created several digital projects featuring interviews from the Oral History Program. Other Collections include multiple interviews over a specific field of study or topic of interest. They include:

LGBTQ+ Food Stories Collection. The oral histories in this collection document how some gay men and lesbians in El Paso, Texas think about and relate to food.  The interviews feature stories that show how one’s social identities, including sexuality, influence how one relates to food and participates in their local, cultural, and familial food traditions. In addition, the stories show how LGBTQ+ people have shaped their own food traditions and contributed to El Paso’s food scene. Stories included in this collection speak to: the role of gender in shaping relationships to eating and cooking; the story of women who nourished families and communities in a variety of contexts; stories about body size, weight, and appetite; and the meaning of food in relation to sense of place and belonging.

The oral histories in this collection are a part of Joshua Lopez’s dissertation research project titled Hungers and Desires: Excavating and Creating Queer Food Histories on the Borderlands. 

Our Stories, Our Justice Collection. Interviews conducted by D.J. Norman-Cox assisted by Gretchen Bullock for the UNT Oral History Program, project partner, during this event. Our Stories, Our Justice is a participatory storytelling project that centers individuals and their communities in a collective effort to (re)produce oral and visual histories that shine light on a continuum of radical leadership by BIPOC and marginalized women. 

Postpartum Depression and Maternal Mental Health Oral History Collection. Research by Dr. Rachel Louise Moran for her book Blue: A History of Postpartum Depression in America.

Centered in Dallas-Fort Worth metropolitan area, fashion was the fourth largest industry in Texas through much of the 1960s-1980s. This project offers a series of interviews by Annette Becker, Director of the Texas Fashion Collection, with members of the Dallas fashion industry whose careers span major cultural and economic shifts during this time frame.

The Crisis at Mansfield. This online museum examines the events and atmosphere surrounding the 1956 desegregation "crisis" at Mansfield as a window into the turmoil of the civil rights movement in Texas during these tumultuous years. Offering access to a wide array of digital objects, the museum provides exhibits and collections that explore these events within Mansfield, and places them within a state and national context.

The St. John's Community Project, an online museum that explores the history of African Americans in Denton County through the lens of a black community centered on the St. John's church, school, and cemetery.

Desegregating Denton: The Denton Women's Interracial Fellowship. The DWIF was started in 1964 by a number of white and black women from the local Denton churches. During a time when white Dentonites responded to the civil rights movement with resistance and occasional violence, a small, bi-racial group of women met with a simple question: how to break down the barriers between themselves. What began as a simple question became a grassroots movement that achieved the kind of progress that was rarely seen in the Southern United States in this era. The City of Denton Public Art Committee commissioned a public art display September 1, 2021 to memorialize their legacy: DWIF
