The Vineyard Voices Tell Their Stories – Oral History Project encompasses ongoing collection and sharing of new interviews from the Vineyard community by oral historian Linsey Lee, and the publication of a fourth volume of her Vineyard Voices (VV4).

The project captures the essence of the diverse and vibrant place that we call Martha’s Vineyard through first-hand stories of its people–African Americans, Wampanoags, Portuguese, Cape Verdeans, Brazilians, New England Yankees, and others. The accounts are in the speaker’s own words, with the cadence and rhythms of speech intact. The themes are timeless–hardship, joy, natural beauty, the indomitable human spirit. These lyrical tales bring the past, and the present, alive, and teach us vital lessons for today.
