Scope and Content of Collection
This collection of interviews with art historians includes bound transcripts and also, for those interviews conducted by the
Getty Research Institute alone, audio cassette tapes of the interviews and computer disks for the transcripts. The project
was begun in 1991, in collaboration with UCLA's Oral History Program, and continued by the Getty Research Institute when the
collaboration ended. This was a multi-year project to document the history of the discipline of art history through the major
contributors to art history and closely related fields.
The purpose of the project was to document the institutions, personalities, philosophical debates, pedagogical and field practice,
the relationship of European and American scholarship, the impact of German émigré scholars, the role of women, post-World
War II collecting and connoisseurship, and the professionalization of the museum field.
Interviews in the field of classical archaeology are meant to explore the contributions of foreign archaeological schools
in the Mediterranean, the changing politics of national archaeological superintendencies, the synthesis of classics, anthropology
and art history, the impact of the "new archaeology" and other theoretical approaches, debates surrounding collecting and
dealing in ancient art, and methods of interpretation.
Interviews document the professional, and sometimes the personal, lives of art and architectural historians (including Agnes
Mongan, Julius Held, Manfredo Tafuri, George Kubler, James Ackerman, Otto von Simson, Otto Wittmann, Craig Smyth, among others)
archaeologists (Phyllis W. Lehmann, Lane Faison, Griselda Pollock, Colin Renfrew, among others), a bibliographer and historian
of the book arts (J. M. Edelstein), and a collector of Fluxus artists' papers and works (Jean Brown). Interviews have been
made with selected individuals at the J. Paul Getty Trust (J. M. Edelstein, Nancy Englander, Harold Williams). The interviews
complement the archives of scholars' papers held by the Getty Research Institute, Research Library.
The repository has numbered the cassette tapes, C1-C45. Some duplicate audio cassettes came with the archive. When available,
these duplicates serve as use copies. The repository has reformatted some sound cassettes, and use copies are available as
indicated in the container list. Some tapes do not yet have use copies; these audio recordings are unavailable until reformatted.
Arrangement
Arranged in 2 series: Series I. Transcripts and sound recordings, 1991-2002; Series II. Computer disks of oral history transcripts,
1991-2002.
Digital Collection and Use Copies
Use copies of some of the audio recordings are available, as indicated in the container list.
Biographical / Historical Note
The Oral History Documentation project was begun in collaboration with the Oral History Program at the University of California,
Los Angeles (UCLA) in 1991. Seventeen interviews were completed, most by interviewer and historian Richard Cándida Smith,
in collaboration with UCLA. The Oral History Program owns the tapes and electronic versions and this collection includes only
the transcripts of these interviews. Transcripts of those interviews jointly sponsored by the Getty and UCLA are also located
at UCLA and in the Bancroft Library at Berkeley. UCLA is digitizing transcripts of the seventeen oral histories and making
them available online.
Connect to the digital versions.
The project has been continued by the Getty Research Institute alone, and is an on-going effort to document and contribute
to the history of the discipline of art history and closely related fields, particularly archaeology. Interviews, thus far,
are with art and architectural historians, archaeologists, a bibliographer and historian of the book arts, a collector of
artists' papers, and leaders of art institutions, including the leadership of the Getty Trust. The GRI is digitizing these
transcripts and making them available online.

Processing History
Processed by Jocelyn Gibbs and Beth Ann Guynn. This collection of interviews with art historians was developed from 1991 through
2002. Tapes, discs, and transcripts have been added to the collection from the following acquisitions: 950033, 950067, 950087,
960010, 960041, 960073, 970050, 980051. Gibbs created this finding aid in June 1998. Guynn processed additions and revised
the finding aid. Jan Bender rearranged the finding aid.
The audio tapes that were reformatted by the repository have four generations: originals, archival and copy masters, and use
copies. Use copies are available in the repostory for researchers.
