BHPS has collected over 40 oral histories of Bayside residents, and they are available below. The recordings date from 1996 to the present, but many contain stories and reminiscences that stretch back decades. A number of those who offered their stories are no longer with us, but their voices remain alive to us through these wonderful recordings.
In recent years, we have been grateful to Ned Lightner for producing a series of “Bayside Stories” that offer entertaining video interviews and reminiscences with additional members of the community. You can view them here.
