"Slave Narratives: A Folk History of Slavery in the United States from..." is a collection undertaken by the Federal Writers' Project between 1936 and 1938. More than 2,000 interviews with formerly enslaved people were conducted across seventeen states, preserving the last generation's memories of slavery. The collection contains over 10,000 typed pages, photographs, and audio recordings. However, historians debate the collection's reliability, as primarily white interviewers documented these stories during the Jim Crow era, potentially influencing how subjects shared their experiences.
