The Atlantic City Project is collecting oral history interviews on the casino era in Atlantic City and South Jersey region (1976-present). The project is documenting the socio-economic impact of the casinos in the region. Project participants include casino employees, agency officials, educators, small business owners, community leaders, neighborhood residents, union officials, and political leaders. One important area of emphasis has been the role of new immigrants in the casino era.
