Oral Histories

DEA Museum staff are creating an online collection of curated oral histories. By gathering first-person accounts from retired special agents, former leadership, and other personnel who have served across five decades, museum staff are preserving DEA’s history and legacy.  These interviews document how the administration’s mission evolved and the lived experiences behind major enforcement efforts. This is an ongoing project — with transcriptions forthcoming — so please check back periodically to see what new offerings are available.
