After receiving a $1,000 donation in 1960, the Society to hired Rush Hughes, a broadcaster with WSTU radio, to expand the collection. He recorded interviews with long-time residents of Martin County, capturing their personal recollections and local history.

Title A name given to the resource Voices of Pioneers Rush Hughes Interviews, 1960-1961 Subject The topic of the resource Oral histories Description An account of the resource This Oral History Series was conducted in 1960 and 1961 under the guidance of Steve Schmidt, director of the Martin County Historical Society. After receiving a $1,000 donation in 1960, the Society to hired Rush Hughes, a broadcaster with WSTU radio, to expand the collection. He recorded interviews with long-time residents of Martin County, capturing their personal recollections and local history. The collection also includes a recorded conversation between Jim and Joan Hutchinson and Albert De Vane, a well-known authority on Seminole culture. Les Combs, founder of WSTU, played a key role in preserving the material. He arranged for the transcription of the original recordings and safeguarded both the audio tapes and the typed transcripts for more than thirty years. In 1995, Mary Furino, longtime secretary at the law firm Thurlow & Smith, retyped many of the transcripts to ensure their continued preservation. However, there are at two transcriptions (2025) of Hughes interviews in the collection that were not retyped. Later, in 2008, local historian Sandra Thurlow conducted a thorough review of the recordings. By listening to copies of the original tapes, she completed the transcriptions and corrected spellings of names and geographic references, significantly improving the accuracy and historical integrity of the collection.
