The Recording Animal Advocacy Oral History Project

Between 1999 and 2004, Carmen Lee (of the Tiny Beam Fund) engaged a team (including Martin Rowe, the Executive Director of the CAF) to conduct interviews with 14 animal advocates, active from the 1950s. This was the Recording Animal Advocacy Oral History Project (RAA OHP). The original audiotapes and transcripts of these interviews are stored at Columbia University’s Oral History Archives in New York City. In a parallel development, Kim Stallwood and Jill Howard Church of the Animal Rights Network (ARN) conducted four oral history interviews. Martin Rowe is conducting another round of interviews for a new RAA OHP, which will be available online and stored at NCSU Libraries.

The Project will be archived by the end of 2026. Funding was provided by the Phauna Project.
