Camp Fire Girls Project (1979)

In February 1979, the clubs of the Camp Fire Girls conducted interviews with Grinnell senior citizens. These interviews were then recorded in the compiled document, Project Interaction: “What was life like for a child sixty years ago?”

Individual interviews range from one to six pages, and common questions include: “What kind of toys did you play with when you were young?” “Would you rather have been a child then or a child now?” “What were your favorite foods as a child?” 

A link to explore this PDF in Digital Grinnell is included here, and a list of interviewees along with the page numbers of their included interviews can be found below.
