The following list of tapes and transcripts is the result of a project done through the Massachusetts Heritage State Parks. The “Shifting Gears” project in Gardner resulted in interviews with Gardner people who spoke about the shift from the “smokestack” economy to the “service” economy in Gardner. Some of these interviews relate to the Gardner area furniture industry. UMass Lowell has tapes and transcripts. Contact Martha Mayo, Martha_mayo@uml.edu for more information.
