Nunn Center for Oral History at the University of Kentucky Libraries, and numerous regional institutions who have generously supported the project.

	This project draws on archival interviews conducted in the early 1980s for I Remember When: Times Gone But Not Forgotten, a series of 13, 30-38 minute radio documentaries broadcast on WHYY-FM, Public Radio in Philadelphia, written and produced by Charles Hardy III. The series explored the history of Philadelphia during its industrial heyday through the memories of those who had lived through it. The programs documented work experiences, family and neighborhood life, the life experiences of immigrants and industrial workers, city politics, the Influenza pandemic of 1918, courtship and romance, and city culture.

	The oral history project conducted to produce I Remember When included interviews with thirty-nine women and fifty-eight men. Of these, there were twenty-two first or second-generation Jews, nineteen Italians, seven Irish, six African Americans, four Poles, three Czechs, two Hungarians, one Chinese and one Mexican. The occupational breakdown included factory and construction workers, housewives, lawyers, politicians, business owners, newspaper reporters, labor organizers, doctors, and a professional boxer. More than half of the people interviewed did not make it into programs, so many of these voices are available here for the first time. All of the interviews are archived at the Nunn Center.

			During an era in which immigration is at the forefront of political and public policy discussions, history is a valuable lens through which we can consider contemporary experiences. This course, which provided opportunities for students to work closely with archival oral history interviews conducted with individuals who immigrated to Philadelphia during the dramatic wave of immigration occurring at the turn of the twentieth century, enabled participants to consider what it means to be an American, the motivations that compel emigrants to leave their home countries, and the ways in which American society has welcomed and rejected immigrants in our midst. Through detailed crafting of interview indexes, curation of exhibits, and production of experimental digital storytelling projects, students examined the experiences of immigrants from 100 years ago, in order to better contemplate the realities facing today’s immigrants.
