Voices of Oklahoma
Voices of Oklahoma (VOk) is an online oral history project dedicated to the preservation of the history of Oklahoma and its people. The oral histories are archived at www.voicesofoklahoma.com for educators, students, and the general public to access for research and study. First-person accounts include a wide range of subjects including ranching, politics, education, business, music and arts, and much more. VOk hopes young people will draw knowledge which may guide and shape their future.〔(【引用サイトリンク】url=http://voicesofoklahoma.com/about-voices-of-ok/mission-statement/ )〕 The mission statement for Voices of Oklahoma is to preserve Oklahoma’s legacy, one voice at a time.
In 2014, the VOk project was moved to the Oklahoma Center for the Humanities at the University of Tulsa where it will have continued support and expansion.
==History==
The original idea for the VOk project came to John Erling in 2008 during lunches with his friend Walter Helmerich. Walt would tell Erling many stories about being an oilman in Oklahoma and after allowing Erling to record these stories, gave permission for Erling to put his voice online as part of a new historical preservation project. Helmerich liked the idea of the project so much, that he became one of the founding donors. By the end of 2009, Erling had interviewed 40 people and would launch the website on April 10, 2010. The debut interview was with Wilma Mankiller, first female chief of the Cherokee Nation who died April 6, 2010.〔〔
The founding sponsors of the project are Grace and Franklin Bernsen Foundation, H. A. and Mary Kay Chapman Charitable Trust, Helmerich Foundation, George Kaiser Family Foundation, William K. Warren Foundation, and Williams Companies Foundation.
