Oral History Projects
With the support of community partner, Copperleaf Senior Living, PCHS is proud to be adding to our digital collections with oral histories from the people in our community. Each interview is indexed, with a searchable transcript so you can easily hear the stories you're most interested in.

Collection 1
Our first project features interviews with trailblazing women and men who changed the course of women's athletics in Portage County, as coaches, players, and parents. These interviews highlight the close-knit fabric of our community as well as the tenacity, dedication, and passion of the women who wanted to play. All told, this collection will contain 10 histories, from people including Sheila Miech, Judie Janquart, Nancy Page, Janel McCarville, Ron Blaha and Kelly Beadles, Carrie Diamond, Mike Olson, and Kent Hall.
