The Wabash College Oral History Project grew out of the school's sesquicentennial celebration in the 1980s. Under the leadership of Eileen McGrath, the project focused on African-American alumni, faculty, and staff at Wabash College and on African-Americans living in Crawfordsville. The interviews took place from 1982-1986, and the project was completed in 1987. From the description of Oral History Project, 1982-1987. (Indiana Historical Society Library).
