Slave Narrative Project
Extracted from the Wikipedia article WPA Slave Narrative Collection.
Project
As the FWP was decentralized and Lomax ultimately did not have administrative control over all branches, the formatting and interview process of the slave narrative project varied from state to state. Whether or not the Interviewer's name is included with the interview, the questions that are asked, inclusion of physical and home descriptions of the former slaves being interviewed, and if the text is a direct transcription or an abridged version vary by state and interviewer.
