Share Your Own Materials              

The Center for Basque Studies and Boise's Basque Museum and Cultural Center encourage anyone who may have interview tapes or photographs of your Basque family members to please share them with us, to be recorded and archived for future generations. The Center for Basque Studies will be glad to pay for the cost of copying photos and tapes. We also encourage you to conduct new interviews and compile photos to add to this collection.

Help Us Index the Existing Collection

At this stage in the project we are also looking for individuals to index tapes from the existing collection.  This consists of listening to interviews and writing a summary of the contents and lists of keywords at certain time intervals.  

Contact us for more information.
