The Detroit Historical Society's mission is to tell Detroit's stories and why they matter. Here, we let Detroiters do the talking. Our oral and written history archive is free and open to all. We encourage you to browse the collection and hear new perspectives.
The oral history team is currently collecting oral and written histories about Detroit's neighborhoods and the Covid-19 pandemic. If you have a story you would like to share, we would be happy to hear it! You can share you story by reaching out to the Oral History team at 313.833.7912 or find more information below.
