The oral history department you quoted is at Oklahoma STATE University in Stillwater, OK. It's also across the hall from where I work in the archives at the library. We contributed a lot of photos and data to the Ken Burns documentary.

Also: Oklahoma STATE University=/=University of Oklahoma. This is a huge distinction. Cowboys =/= Sooners
It's the real dividing line of living in Oklahoma.

My grandparents were farmers southwest of Amarillo, TX. My mom was born in 1937, the first of 4 daughters. It was rough.
I've lived in Oklahoma all my life. The dust bowl is intimate history for me.
