Annotation: 

This collection is part of the Doris Duke Indian Oral History Program. It includes tapes and transcriptions of interviews with approximately 190 North Carolina Lumbees. Baltimore Lumbees were also interviewed, as were some Whites who were involved in Lumbee affairs or research. For additional information about this project, see this article about Sam Proctor.

Access to the recordings themselves, for people in or near Florida: For additional information, consult the University of Florida Oral History Project's Web site. As a general rule, the tapes and transcripts must be used on site. Contact Mrs. Roberta Y. Peacock, Oral History Program Administrative Assistant, by e-mail (rpeacock@ufl.edu) with specific questions. Mrs. Peacock says that the program very rarely allows purchase of copies of the audiotapes, unless the requestor is a family member of the interviewee.

Access to the recordings themselves, for people in or near Pembroke, North Carolina: UNC-Pembroke's Native American Resource Center has copies of the interviews conducted by Adolph Dial. The approximately 70 interviews reside on a set of 35 CDs. The set is called “The Adolph Dial Tapes.”

Access to the transcripts: All 267 transcripts have been digitized, with funding from a gift from Caleb J. and Michele B. Grimes. The transcripts can be located by searching the Web site of the Samuel Proctor Oral History Program: Lumbee Interviews. The Text Search option allows you to search for a name, word, phrase, or Boolean search within the full text of all the Lumbee transcripts. To find an interview listed in the table below, click the link for Advanced Search. Search for an interviewee's name, first name first, or an interview topic from the table below, in Anywhere. When you find your match and click on the Title, you'll be able to view page images of the transcript. You can also search within the text ofthe transcript. The Citation page for the interview will give you a permanent link for the transcript, additional information about the where the oral history itself is housed, rights management, usage statistics for the transcript, and more.

The table below lists the 267 interviews with Lumbee Indians (or others knowledgeable about them) conducted between 1973 and 1975.

A few links to the digitized transcrips have been provided as examples. More links will be added as time permits.
