-	The WPA’s Project S-149, Indian-Pioneer Papers (called the Indian-Pioneer History Collection), is located at both the Oklahoma Historical Society and the Western History Collection at the University of Oklahoma (see Archives, Libraries, and Societies).

-	An invaluable source is the Oklahoma Indian-Pioneer Papers collected during the 1930s by the WPA, which sponsored interviews with early settlers of the state. The collection includes nearly 11,000 oral histories preserved on microfiche. Several institutions hold copies, including the Oklahoma Historical Society, University of Oklahoma Libraries, and the McFarlin Library, University of Tulsa. In 2002, the Oklahoma Genealogical Society began publishing in its Quarterly, an alphabetically arranged list of the interviewees’ names with volume and microfiche number. Surnames beginning with letters, A, B, and C have been completed with others to follow. Volunteer transcribers have also begun placing these histories on the Web at <http://www.rootsweb.com/~okgenweb/pioneer>.	+	An invaluable source is the Oklahoma Indian-Pioneer Papers collected during the 1930s by the WPA, which sponsored interviews with early settlers of the state.
