Palouse Anthropology is a group of researchers interested in preserving the micro-history of the Palouse through the collection of oral histories for the benefit of researchers and future generations.
Palouse Anthropology was founded by a team of anthropologists and historians specializing in ethnographic research. During collaborative research work conducted in 2014, a need was identified to provide collection and preservation services for oral histories and intensive historical investigations of well-known individuals, groups, events, or organizations which were not being pursued by other research programs or entities.
