Louisiana Sea Grant Coastal Change Oral Histories Project
Subseries
Holy Cross High School
Series Information
Description
Louisiana's coast is washing away at an alarming rate, and as the land disappears, residents are effected economically and culturally. In 2012, Louisiana Sea Grant partnered with the Williams Center and implemented an oral history project in which high school students in South Louisiana recorded information on coastal change and explored the implications of this change on their communities. One primary goal of the project, beyond creating primary resources documenting this phenomenon, was to increase environmental literacy among students who live in communities at risk and to engage them in a stewardship project that would help them interact with community elders through the use of oral history.

In 2014, Dr. Trenton James began an oral history project to continue the heretofore written history of the LSMS, where he has served as an active member for many years. People interviewed for the project include not only physicians, but also nurses, a clinic director, a hospital CEO, a social worker, a lobbyist/director in Maternal & Child Health, the editor-in-chief of the LSMS journal, and physician spouses. Areas of focus include changes in technology and the evolution of practices in the fields of pediatric care, anesthesiology, pathology, plastic surgery, ophthalmology, dialysis, cardiology, radiology, and more. Other topics include changes in medical training, costs of medical care, insurance companies, and new developments in the healthcare system over time. Narrators also discuss the intersection of politics, culture, and medicine, the aftermath of Hurricane Katrina, the internal politics of the LSMS, the Charity Hospital System, wartime service as medical professionals, and involvement in state, national, and international organizations. In 2022, the LSMS provided funding for the Center to process the following collections, housed in the Louisiana and Lower Mississippi Valley Collections (LLMVC).
