The Maria Rogers Oral History Program began in 1976 as an archive of recorded interviews documenting the history of Boulder City and County. It has since evolved into an extensive online and onsite collection of over 1,700 audio recordings video, podcasts and other forms of media that bring oral history out from inside the library walls and into the community.
