The available oral history transcripts are now housed at the 1950s Park Forest House Museum. Online transcripts are on, "Park Forest: An Illinois Planned Community" on Illinois Digital Archives and are free- text searchable. The transcripts are kept in file cabinets in the museum. The Archive Office, St. Mary's Catholic Church, 227 Monee Road, has non-circulating copies of the transcripts. Several have been retyped in MS Word and saved to Adobe PDF-A and will be added to the Digital project.
Email Jane Nicoll, Park Forest Historical Society Archivist, for availability.
