In the mid-1980s The Monroeville Historical Society conducted a series of Oral History Interviews, under the direction of Dan Nowak. Originally produced on audiotape these interviews were transcribed and are now available in two forms.

The first is an edited and categorized paper titled "Oral History of Monroeville." This version, besides being edited of extraneous conversation is supplemented with notations, tables and maps. [Available as a FREE download in PDF format; Click Here to download].
