Background

Scope and content:

More than 170 original oral history audiocassettes of interviews recorded with 125 identified cultural and political leaders of Santa Barbara. The collection also contains other historical tapes, research notes, photographs, interviews, clippings and subject files. Many of the interviews have tape indexes in their folders. Includes many release forms and alphabetical forms listing names of persons to interview. The list of interviewees is a "kind of crème de la crème of the Santa Barbara elite of the time."

Biographical / historical:

The "Santa Barbara Oral History Office UCSB, from the late 70s to early 80s", was carried out by Dr. Marian A. Johnson, who served as a community oral historian at the University, based at the Santa Barbara Historical Society, then the Hutchins Center, UCSB, later at UCSB Library, where most of this work was done. The project was halted when Dr. Marian Johnson moved to a professorship in Utah in the spring of 1984.
