Interviewer:
Colom, Gloria
Scope Note:

Carol Parks is the spouse of Roger Parks and friend of the Ostroms'. Roger Parks is a former student of Elinor Ostrom's, which is how they initially met. Carol Parks built a stronger relationship with Elinor Ostrom while cataloging the artwork in the Ostrom house. During this cataloging project Elinor Ostrom and Parks consulted many different people and agencies including the Mathers Museum. This leads to a discussion about the construction of the Ostrom house, which was built like a Native American longhouse. She further discusses the Ostroms' collection of Native American work while they were at their Manitoulin Island house in Ontario, Canada. Roger and Carol Parks had the opportunity to go to this house on the island which is discussed. Parks then discusses the impact of Elinor Ostrom's Nobel Prize in Economics and the changes in the Ostrom Workshop over the years. The interview concludes with personal antecedents about the Ostroms.
