Congratulations to Georgia State University Library on receiving a National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC) grant in the amount of $121,418 to digitize and transcribe recorded interviews from the Uprising of ’34 Oral History collection in the Southern Labor Archives. The collection includes first-person accounts of the attempts of nearly half a million textile workers in Southern cotton mills to unionize.
The project is scheduled to last 18 months, and will begin on August 1.
