Oral History Videos

The Sitka Maritime Heritage Society holds oral history panels at our annual meetings every year. We have started to put some of these videos on line, and to edit some into "highlights" videos. This is a work in progress, as we add information and names of speakers to these increasingly valuable documents of Sitka's rich past.
