Oral History Collection
In the early 1980's interpretive rangers of Hot Springs National Park began documenting the history of the bathhouses by recording oral accounts of some of the bathing attendants and other bathhouse employees. These were compiled as "The Bathhouse Employee Documentary Collection," which consists of the recorded interviews, transcribed texts, and pictures of the attendants. Interviews extended to other area historians and park employees. Below are links to the audio recordings and their text transcriptions. Please be patient while the audio files load.
