Scope and Contents note
The Stanford Oral History Project (SOHP), a joint effort of the Stanford University
Archives and the Stanford Historical Society, began in 1978 as an extension of their efforts
to collect, preserve and make available to researchers the historical record of the Stanford
University community. These taped interviews and their transcriptions supplement the already
strong collection of written and photographic materials in the University Archives, and
provide a unique resource containing experiences and viewpoints not often found in
traditional documents.
The oral history interviews in the SOHP collection are carefully planned historical
documents which we hope will serve a wide range of scholarly interests. Five additional sets
of oral history interviews are listed separately: a set of interviews with members of the
early
Aurora newspaper collective; a set of
interviews with participants in Stanford's Community Committee for International Students
(CCIS); a set of interviews conducted by Joan Bromberg of the American Institute of Physics
for the Laser History Project; a set of interviews with graduates of the Stanford School of
Nursing; a set of interviews with Stanford-associated "Silicon Valley" scientists (a
component of the Stanford and the Silicon Valley Project); and a set of interviews with
family and friends of Dr. Robert Reid Newell, professor in the School of Medicine.
For most of the interviews, a typed transcript, edited for accuracy by both interviewer
and narrator but otherwise unchanged, is available.
Arrangement note
The interviews are arranged in seven series: 1. Stanford Oral History Project Inteviews; 2.
Aurora Interviews; 3. Community Committee on International Studies Interviews; 4. Laser
History Project Interviews; 5. Stanford Nurse Alumnae Interviews; 6. Silicon Valley Project
Interviews; and 7. Dr. Robert Reid Newell Interviews.
