Welcome!

The Carroll County History Project was created by the Community Media Center (CMC) in 2008 as an ongoing, multi-part effort to preserve the history of Carroll County, Maryland by collecting videotaped memories of the people who live here and by producing documentary programs about the county, local issues, and the unique experiences of area residents.

These stories, from everyday people, help to paint a picture of Carroll County’s history and how it has changed throughout the years. These personal accounts help bring history to life, and put a name and a face on local events.

Our online Oral History Video Collection is divided into several playlists: Carroll County Remembers, Carroll County: Through the Eyes of the Black Experience, Carroll County Veterans and Local Documentaries. All contain video interviews with local residents who shared their personal story. We invite you to explore our collections below.

CARROLL COUNTY VETERANS SALUTE

_{The Community Media Center is honoring our local veterans by recording their stories of service to our Country. We’re videotaping interviews with local veterans to preserve their personal accounts of our service for future generations.
You can be part of this historical record by sharing your story with us! These interviews not only give us a personal glimpse into military service, but they also provide your family with a lasting tribute to your contributions to our country. No matter what branch of the service you were in, if you served at home or abroad, during a time of conflict or at peace, we want to hear from you!}
