Show BYU Seeking Oral Histories The Charles Redd Center for Western Studies at BYU is expanding ex-panding its oral history program to interview people whose parents were married between 1880 and 1904 and who grew up in a Mormon household. Jessie Louise Embry, director of the oral history program, said the center is conducting the interviews to determine what Mormon Mor-mon frontier family life was like around the turn of the century. Some of the questions to be answered are: what role did the family play in teaching religious principles, how was family prayer organized and conducted, con-ducted, and how were responsibilities divided among family members? mem-bers? "We are looking for volunteers who are willing to be interviewed in-terviewed for this project," the director said. "We are especially interested in people who grew up in Utah, Arizona and the Mormon Mor-mon colonies in Mexico and Canada." |
