Dear Mr. John,

Thank you for posting your request on History Hub!

We searched online for Spanish flu oral histories and Spanish influenza oral histories and located the multiple resources including those listed below.  In addition to these, you may wish to contact local, state, and regional historical societies, libraries, universities, history museums, and oral history programs.

Also, we searched the National Archives Catalog for “Spanish Flu,”  “Spanish Influenza,” and “Influenza” for the 1910s and 1920s and located records that are not oral histories, but may be of interest. Some of these records have been digitized and may be viewed online using the Catalog. For more information about non-digitized records, please email the reference unit listed in the Catalog description.

Due to the COVID-19 pandemic and pursuant to guidance received from the Office of Management and Budget (OMB), NARA has adjusted its normal operations to balance the need of completing its mission-critical work while also adhering to the recommended social distancing for the safety of NARA staff. As a result of this re-prioritization of activities, you may experience a delay in receiving an initial acknowledgement as well as a substantive response to your reference request from various NARA units. We apologize for this inconvenience and appreciate your understanding and patience.

We hope this is helpful. Best of luck with your research!

I don't know if this includes oral histories, but it does gather together a lot of primary sources:  http://www.influenzaarchive.org/about.html
