            |  | Our oral histories are
            recorded memories of many different people who have specific recollections of Pennsylvania
            State Police events or experiences which helped shape the heritage that is the
            Pennsylvania State Police. |

            |  | Over the last 100 years of
            Pennsylvania State Police history, very few books have been written about the 
            Pennsylvania State Police. While there are many stories and accounts of "the way it
            was," little has been compiled. The Oral History Project is an effort to do just
            that; compile the everyday occurrences that have shaped the PA State Police and made it
            what it is today-the finest State Police agency in the world. |

            |  | We have trained and provided
            our interviewers with the necessary tools and techniques in researching, recording and
            documenting these recollections.  |

            Oral History Project in conjunction with the Pennsylvania State Police Historical,
            Educational & Memorial Center has received funding from the Pennsylvania Historical
            & Museum Commission and the Pennsylvania State Police Centennial Committee, which
            makes it possible for us to pursue this worthy project. |
