Members of Tallahassee's earliest families and founders of numerous local businesses-residents, civic leaders, and businessmen-shared memories and insights with us. The interviews in this collection date from 1969 and document the capital's transition from a strictly rural community to a city. The Florida collection contains interviews with early government personnel like State Archaeologist Calvin Jones and State Forestry Director Hux Coulter. Recollections of Florida Park Service and the Florida Highway Patrol personnel document the history of those two agencies. A small collection of interviews on Dorothy Dodd, Florida's first state archivist and second State Librarian, is available at the State Library.
