Karmel, James R. Dr. James R. Karmel Atlantic City Project Oral History Interviews

Title: Dr. James R. Karmel Atlantic City Project Oral History Interviews

The narrators for this project were chosen by Dr. Karmel. His goal was to document the impact of casinos on the lives of residents in the Atlantic City region. Narrators include government officials (both local and state), immigrants, casino employees, local business owners, and longtime residents of the area. Notably, this is the first project of its kind to document the experience of immigrants to Atlantic City. Karmel developed a list of questions for each interview and asked narrators questions about their childhood, education, work experience, and the role and impact of casinos in Atlantic City. He interviewed narrators at union halls, the Spanish Community Center, Our Lady Star of the Sea Church, the Asian Food Market, and other area locations. Audio recordings of some of the interviews are available as digital files in MP2 format, and digital photographs for some of the narrators are available in JPG format.
