Omaha Stories: Oral Histories from Omaha, Nebraska shares the experiences of people from Omaha and surrounding communities through oral history interviews. Omaha Stories gathers interviews to organize the oral histories by the topics and events discussed by the narrators. The list of topics and events is currently under development with ongoing additions expanding the website.

These oral histories were created by and gathered from multiple cultural heritage repositories and are available together here for the first time. If you have oral history interviews in your collection you would like to add to this website, contact UNO Libraries' Archives and Special Collections.
