In 2018/2019, as part of Montclair’s 150th Anniversary, the Montclair History Center invited long-time Montclair residents to share their recollections of earlier times in Montclair. We hoped to interview 20-30 individuals. By the time we wrapped up, we had over 60. This project was funded by the New Jersey Council for the Humanities (a state partner of the National Endowment for the Humanities). Interviews were conducted with the assistance of Montclair resident and Professor Dr. Christopher Matthews from Montclair State University. In this post, we are sharing a link to the interview summary and audio file for the following interviewees: Joseph Attamante, Samuel Debnam, James Eason, Barbara Grieco, Stuart Keil, Roger and Sandra Terry, and Anne Purdue Von Hoffman.
