YFD Oral History Project (1975)
In 1975, the Department of History at Youngstown State University recorded and transcribed many oral histories on various subjects. A total of nine of the oral histories were with members of the Youngstown Fire Department. These oral histories can be found in the Archives and Special Collections stacks on the 5th floor of Maag Library. PDF versions of the transcribed interviews are available in the Maag Library Catalog. A copy of the PDFs are also accessible via this site.
