Abstract
Recorded memories and stories are a legacy to future generations through the voices of people who lived in and made our communities. The stories collected for Voices of a Pandemic are of lasting importance and need to be accessible to community members and researchers while being preserved for future generations. This is where UNO Libraries’ Archives and Special Collections comes in. Our purpose is to acquire unique, rare, and specialized materials, such as the Voices Oral Histories collected by OLLAS, make the content as accessible as possible to the UNO community and beyond, and preserve the materials for generations to come. Collecting material related to human rights topics, such as Voices oral histories, is one of Archives and Special Collections’ priority subject areas for new collections.
