Indian Pioneer Papers - Index, introduction Index submitted by Gay Wall - t31892@nidlink.com Interviews that deal with people of all nationalities with first-hand experience of Indian Territory and Oklahoma Territory, not just the Indian population. ___________________________________________________________________ There are only two complete bound sets of originals. * Western History Collections at the University of Oklahoma * Archives and Manuscripts Division, Oklahoma Historical Society Copies cannot be made from these one-of-a-kind books, but may be made from the microform. The OHS index is more comprehensive... listing localities, events, customs, places, people, etc. and makes the OHS set the most valuable. The best place to view the volumes and to consult the [card file] index is at OHS. The bound set at the Archives consists of 112 volumes. There is no volume 111. There are over 55,000 pages in this set and over 85,000 index cards, many with several entries. These interviews include quite a bit of genealogical information. The set and index have been microfilmed by the Archives and can be purchased. The Friends of the OHS Archives are currently considering the possibility of putting this collection on CD in the not too distant future. OKLAHOMA HISTORICAL SOCIETY - Roll/Volume Index The bound set at OU has been put on microfiche. It is available for purchase from Norman Ross Publishing, NY. Per the librarian in the Western History Collections - they have a card catalog of the index on site at the University of Oklahoma, Western History Library.[10-98] University of Oklahoma (OU) and the Oklahoma Historical Society (OHS), Archives and Manuscripts Division indices are different because they were done separately after the volumes were bound. Both sets have card indices, but since they were bound differently, you can't use the index at OU for the set at the OHS Archives or vice versa.

Archives http://files.usgwarchives.net/ok/garvin/bios/ipp/ About the Collection In 1936, the [Oklahoma Historical] society teamed with the history department at the University of Oklahoma to get a Works Progress Administration (WPA) writers' project grant for an interview program. The project employed more than 100 writers scattered across the state, with headquarters in Muskogee, where Grant Foreman served as project director. Asked to "call upon early settlers and (record) the story of the migration to Oklahoma and their early life here," the writers conducted more than 11,000 interviews, edited the accounts into written form, and sent them to the project director who completed the editorial process and had them typed into more than 45,000 pages. When assembled, the Indian-Pioneer Papers consisted of 112 volumes, with one set at the university, the other at the society. There are only two complete bound sets of originals. [Blackburn, Bob L.
