Biography / Administrative History

The University of the Pacific Emeriti Society Oral History Project began in 1994 and continues as more interviews are conducted. The mission of the Project is to help preserve the history of the University of the Pacific by collecting conversations and recollections of university members from a variety of academic disciplines. Most of the oral histories were conducted by members of the Emeriti Society who interviewed fellow emeriti and created descriptions of content in interviews.

Scope and Content of Collection

This collection contains oral histories of former faculty and administration members. The oral histories contain the career histories and reminiscences of the University of the Pacific Emeriti while employed at Pacific and may include histories of their education and employment at other colleges. The content of the oral histories spans from the 1930s to the present. The oral histories may contain the history of departments, cluster colleges, special programs, administration, faculty, staff, students, and activities that occurred on campus.
