Bellingham Centennial Oral History Project.

Hide Profile

The Bellingham Centennial Oral History Project began in 2001 as an outgrowth of the Bellingham Centennial celebration which occurred from September 2003 to December 2004.

The Centennial Committee met and proposed an oral history to add to Bellingham's documentary heritage. This collaborative effort on the part of the City of Bellingham, Center for Pacific Northwest Studies, and Blackdog Productions sought out long-time residents of Bellingham to discuss their experiences and reflections of the past 100 years in Bellingham. Suggestions from the community helped locate individuals such as George Davenport, Lois and George Garlick, Pauline Hillaire, Lenny Hovde, Jim Roberts, Betty Russell, John and Nina Sternhagen, Myrtle Molly Thompson, Dr. Arthur Watts, Margaret Watts, Jane Hovde, Gordy Tweit, and Tut Asmundson.
