Oral Histories
The heart of the SlackWater Center has always been oral history. The SlackWater Archive includes over 600 oral histories, and we’re adding more all the time. You can browse this collection by name or category and see, in most cases, verbatim transcripts of the interview.
Podcasts
Since 2019, students at St. Mary’s College of Maryland have been producing podcasts about Southern Maryland, using both new and archived interviews. Some of these are now available on SlackWater Online, as well as through normal podcast distribution channels like Spotify and Apple Podcasts.
Stories
These stories are rooted in the lives of Southern Marylanders. Many of the pieces in this section are edited oral histories; others are journalistic or creative pieces.
