Stanford Historical Society Oral History Program Interviews (SC0932). Department of Special Collections, Stanford University
Libraries, Stanford, Calif.
The Stanford Historical Society's Oral History Program explores the institutional history of the University, with an emphasis
on the transformative post-WWII period, through interviews with leading faculty, staff, alumni, trustees, and others. The
project furthers the Society's mission "to foster and support the documentation, study, publication, and preservation of the
history of the Leland Stanford Junior University."
Like any primary source material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events.
It is a unique, reflective, spoken account, offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it may be deeply
personal. By capturing the flavor of incidents, events, and personalities, the oral history approach provides details and
viewpoints that are not often found in traditional records.
Transcripts in this collection are lightly edited by program staff and by Interviewees to correct grammar and occasional
inaccuracies. Audio, however, is not edited. As a result, transcripts do not match recordings verbatim.
All requests to reproduce, publish, quote from, or otherwise use collection materials must be submitted to Special Collections
