The interviews were collected between 2020 and 2022 as part of a continuing collaboration between the ICGT and the BGSU Center for Archival Collections (CAC) to document the history of the ICGT and the broader Islamic history of Northwest Ohio, first begun in 2019 with a Community Scan Day event supported by a grant from the National Endowment for the Humanities.

Oral histories included in this collection were conducted by CAC staff members Nick Pavlik and Michelle Sweetser, as well as Emily Edwards, a doctoral candidate in the BGSU American Culture Studies program.
