Louie B. Nunn Center For Oral History

WUKY’s award winning history series Saving Stories celebrates the fiftieth anniversary of the Louie B. Nunn Center for Oral History in the UK Libraries. Alan Lytle and Center Director Doug Boyd reflect on their 15-year radio partnership and talk about one of Doug’s favorite interviews that ‘reaches back almost as far as oral history can possibly reach.’ It’s a 1975 conversation with T.R. Bryant who attended UK in 1902 and talks about campus life at the state’s flagship university around the turn of the century. After graduation Bryant helped establish UK’s Cooperative Extension Service.
