Craddock Oral Histories
Long-time faculty member and two-time San Marcos Mayor, Dr. Emmie Craddock was dedicated to preserving history. She and her History students conducted dozens of interviews with members of the community. The subjects of these interviews were often older residents, who talked about their experiences growing up in the 1910s and 1920s.
Understanding historical context is an important part of using primary resources. The University Archives strives to make our historical and digital resources openly available.
