This collection includes oral histories related to the Roosevelt and Vanderbilt families. The oral history program began in 1947. William A. Plog, former Roosevelt groundskeeper, was the first interview, and additional Roosevelt and Vanderbilt employees soon followed. By 1951, over 1,440 minutes were recorded. With the acquisition of Val-Kill in the 1970s, interviews with employees, friends and associates of Mrs. Roosevelt were added. These important resources speak of the human interaction between the Roosevelts, the Vanderbilts, their employees, neighbors and friends.

Since its founding in 1688, New Rochelle, NY has become “home” to great numbers of new immigrants and migrants from the deep South. Their stories, as similar in promise as they are varied in cultural details, are represented in a collection of oral history interviews from 1988 – 2013: New Rochelle: Diverse Voices, One Community.

The narratives of this collection provide powerful testaments of the centuries-old challenges of crossing geographical -- and cultural – borders. As this suburban-urban community continues attracting newcomers from all parts of the world, we hope that New Rochelle: Diverse Voices, One Community, will provide a springboard for conversations. The stories help us think about the common threads of immigrant/migrant experiences, the contributions that endure, and the impact recent immigration to New Rochelle may have on its future.
