Connecting Neighbors To Their Histories, One Story At A Time
This site has been designed as a supporting document for my Master of Applied Historical Research degree through Boise State University. It features an oral history series with Boise neighbors, neighborhood histories, and resources to help you become more involved with your local neighborhood association.
A special thanks to the wonderful oral history narrators who volunteered their time to this project, my graduate committee, and you - a neighbor who is interested in their community history.
I hope that this site both inspires and provides you with new insight into the history of Boise's neighborhoods and the people within them. If you have any questions or stories that you would like to share, please feel free to contact us.
Thanks for visiting!
