Wheeling Spoken History- Interim Report
Scope and Contents
This series consists of correspondence, project reports, transcripts, clippings, and photographs relating to the Klines' 1992-1993 work documenting Wheeling, West Virginia culture, arts, work, and history. One hundred sixty interviews were conducted representing neighborhoods, religious congregations, downtown businesses, factories, breweries, mills, mines, ethnic social clubs, singing societies, jazz bands and old Wheeling Jamboree radio musicians.
