The Intrepid Sea, Air & Space Museum launched an oral history project in May 2013, with the goal of collecting the stories of those who served on board the historic aircraft carrier Intrepid from 1943 to 1974. The Museum also collects oral histories from people associated with the Museum’s other major artifacts: the submarine Growler, the space shuttle orbiter Enterprise and the supersonic airliner Concorde. The oral histories are a core component of the Museum’s collections and are actively used in exhibitions, educational programming and public tours.
