In the First Person: An Index to Letters, Diaries, Oral Histories and Personal Narratives

Description

In the First Person currently indexes more than 2,500 collections of oral history in English from around the world. With future releases, the index will broaden to identify other first-person content, including letters, diaries, memoirs, and autobiographies, and other personal narratives, providing citations, and in many cases links to fulltext, audio and video files within scholarly materials that are freely available on the Web (access to some texts requires subscriptions).
