The Civil Rights History Project is an archive of oral histories of activists and direct observers of the people, places, and events that brought about sweeping, often traumatic, changes in American society. In addition to being activists, interviewees were members of prominent organizations during the struggle, such as the NAACP, the Congress of Racial Equality, and the Student Nonviolent Coordinating Committee. Some events interviewees discussed are the Freedom Rides (1961), the March on Washington for Jobs and Freedom (1963), the Selma to Montgomery Rights March (1965), sit-ins, southern voter registration drives, and Emmett Till's murder in 1955.

The Fortunoff Archive currently holds more than 4,400 testimonies, which are comprised of over 10,000 recorded hours of videotape. The Fortunoff Archive and its affiliates recorded the testimonies of willing individuals with first-hand experience of the Nazi persecutions, including those in hiding, survivors, bystanders, resistants, and liberators. Testimonies are recorded in whatever language the witness prefers, and range in length from one-half hour to over 40 hours (recorded over several sessions).

The records are entered into Yale's online public access catalog. Easy search mechanisms allow users to search the testimonies by geographic headings or subject headings, or a combination of both using Boolean operators. Advanced searching allows users to narrow their results effectively. Tutorials are available, along with assistance from Yale's staff (fortunoff.archive@yale.edu).
