Upcoming events and on-line resources
FPL Oral History Project Available Online |

|
A collection of digital audio recorded interviews with 52 current and former employees of the Forest Products Laboratory is now available online. The interviews were conducted as part of an oral history project undertaken by the University of Wisconsin-Madison Oral History Program in cooperation with the Forest Products Laboratory, to document the FPL's history in their work to promote healthy forests and forest-based economies through the efficient, sustainable use of our wood resources in preparation for the Laboratory's centennial anniversary in 2010.
All of the interviews have been fully transcribed and keyword indexed; the transcripts and indexes are on paper and also have been preserved in electronic form. Also included in the collection are project documents relating to the planning, research, and execution of the oral history project.
