The Memories Collection is a living history project that came about after Mars Hill University’s Sesquicentennial in 2006-7. It is an on-going series of video interviews of people—past and present—associated with Mars Hill University. The interviews, while providing the historical elements, also open the doors to a rich and personal tapestry of life at the University and in western North Carolina. Beginning in 2008, there have been 100 interviews to date. They've included 119 interviewees conducted by 20 interviewers averaging one hour each. All were planned and coordinated by Professor Jones. Kristie Hollifield, Director of Media Services, has been videographer, editor, and preparer of the DVDs for the entire series.
