Abstract:
Rural electrification helped to create a whole new way of life for rural people. North Carolina’s rural electric cooperatives have launched a statewide oral history project to preserve the personal recollections of early co-op organizers and the first generation of Tar Heel co-op consumer-members. About fifty volunteers will be tape recording interviews with members and pioneer co-op directors and employees as part of the project.
