The paper will examine two cases studies regarding collection development within Florida Gulf Coast University's Archives and Special Collections to highlight the department's efforts to curate collections that challenge gender and cultural bias. Librarians can influence the common historical perspective by collecting primary resources, such as oral histories, that challenge established norms. In recent decades, librarians have sought more diverse and inclusive collections to augment the resources available to scholars and storytellers. Oral histories are a powerful resource capable of providing valuable and differing perspectives of history and the human experience. This paper will discuss the rewards and challenges of collecting, cataloguing, and providing access to two oral history collections: a collection of ethnographies regarding sexual assault (S(he) Will Fade) and a collection of testimonies from people who dealt with the reality of abortion pre- and post-Roe v. Wade (Histories of Choice). The case studies address the importance of academic institutions' engagement with such collections, faculty and students' role in the collection of the oral histories, potential legal issues, and the impact of letting their voices be heard.

该论文将研究关于佛罗里达墨西哥湾沿岸大学档案馆和特别馆藏馆藏发展的两个案例研究，以强调该部门在管理挑战性别和文化偏见的馆藏方面所做的努力。图书馆员可以通过收集挑战既定规范的主要资源（例如口述历史）来影响共同的历史观点。近几十年来，图书馆员寻求更多样化和更具包容性的馆藏，以增加可供学者和讲故事者使用的资源。口述历史是一种强大的资源，能够提供关于历史和人类经验的宝贵且不同的观点。本文将讨论收集、编目和提供对两个口述历史收藏的访问的回报和挑战：一系列关于性侵犯的民族志（S(he) Will Fade），以及一系列在 Roe v. Wade 之前和之后处理堕胎现实的人的证词（历史选择）。案例研究解决了学术机构参与此类收藏的重要性、教师和学生在收集口述历史中的作用、潜在的法律问题以及让他们的声音被听到的影响。
