Salve Regina Memory is an oral history project featuring alumni and other members of the university community. Interviews range in length from 10 minutes to an hour and include stories about the student experience, professors and administrators, social life, and careers. The project was launched by the University Archivist at the 2008 Alumni Weekend and continues primarily during reunions.
Beginning in 2017, students from the Departments of History and Cultural and Historic Preservation have been conducting oral history interviews with alumni, current and former faculty and administrators.
Any alum who would like to give a longer interview or who has items to donate to the Archives is encouraged to contact the University Archivist at 401-341-2276.
This collection is a work in progress and not all oral history files may be available.
