The East Side Oral History Project collection contains three oral history interviews conducted by Elizabeth Alston as part of the research process for the Charleston Museum Leaflet Number 30, Between the Tracks: The Heritage of Charleston’s East Side Community. Included in the collection are transcripts of the oral histories conducted with Lorraine Fordham, Frances Mack, and Phillip Simmons. In their interviews, interviewees discuss growing up on the East Side, the ways the neighborhood has changed, historic buildings, and their thoughts on the neighborhood being considered for the National Historic Register.

The oral histories are arranged alphabetically by last name at the file level. More information about the contents of each oral history can be found in the abstracts at the file level. The Avery Research Center does not have any corresponding audio recordings of these oral histories.
