The Lemon Grove Oral History Project will document and tell the story of this historical event through the living participants of this era of the 1930’s and their direct descendants. Their stories, recollections, photos, writings, their experiences, views, and recollections through their own words, and through oral history; will be documented and preserved.

All and any historical photos and letters of these participants will be preserved and archived digitally through videos, recordings, and taped interviews, and will be digitalized and put online for libraries and college and university institutions, such as Palomar College.
​
The project goal will be to display and screen the newly acquired and preserved materials at the Lemon Grove Historical Society in Lemon Grove, California.
