The Foxfire project is a well-known oral history project, which has been conducted since 1966 in rural Georgia, U.S.A. by high school students. The oral history project for elementary and secondary education has been representatively practiced through the Foxfire project. The unprecedented research revealed the contents of the Foxfire Magazine and the results of the Foxfire project, but did not focus on the historical changes found in each of the magazine issue. Therefore, in this study the contents of the Foxfire Magazine are analyzed to demonstrate how oral history represented in the magazine had changed over the span of 40 years. The result shows the substance of oral history content in the magazine has changed gradually: the percentage had decreased for topics related to folklore and increased for life history topics.
