Ronald Fraser obituary

Gifted and prolific historian of Spain who helped establish oral history as a discipline in its own right Ronald Fraser moved to Andalusia in 1957 - and found that little had changed since the end of the civil war Ronald Fraser, who has died aged 81, was one of the most respected, gifted and prolific British historians of Spain. His best-known work, Blood of Spain (1979), is a peerless account of the Spanish civil war, carefully constructed from interviews with participants on both sides. Conducted with a steady and consistently courteous voice, the book helped establish oral history as a discipline in its own right. Ronnie disliked the description – "as though it were a category of historiography on a par with 'economic' or 'political' history rather than what it actually is: the creation of new sources to further historical research."

East Park Place Memories: Oral history project begins

An oral history project under way in the East Park Place neighborhood will provide a wealth of information about the neighborhood that was severely impacted by the 2008 flood. When all of the 41 properties purchased in a buy-out have been moved or demolished, “the majority of the neighborhood will be lost,” City Planner Tricia Sandahl said. Located north of East Park and west of the Mason City Aquatic Center, East Park Place is bounded by North Carolina Avenue, Ninth Street Northeast, the Mason City Family Aquatic Center and the Winnebago River. “It’s a big historic district,” Sandahl said. “It’s an interesting neighborhood and it’s a unique neighborhood. It has a mix of ethnic backgrounds, a mix of income levels, a mix of professions and an architecturally diverse mix of housing.” Many of the residents have lived there for years. Houses date from 1910 to the 1950s. A majority of the houses in East Park Place have not undergone significant exterior modification, Sandahl said.
