Oral History Holdings at MIT
Two
links lead to oral histories held at MIT by the Institute Archives
and Special Collections and the MIT Museum:
Oral
Histories at MIT (A-M)
Oral Histories at
MIT (N-Z)
The
lists are arranged alphabetically by the last name of the interviewee.
The word "Museum" in a description indicates that the
oral history is at the Museum. The heading "MC" followed
by a number or a number alone (e.g., MC 100 or 77-37) indicates
that the item is at the Institute Archives. The lists include
brief biographical information about some of the subjects of the
oral histories. Collection of this biographical data is ongoing
and more information will be added over time. Please note that
these lists are large and take time to load.
Other
oral history work, not represented on these lists, is under way
currently at MIT. One such project is the Blacks at MIT Oral History
Project. For further information on this project see http://libraries.mit.edu/archives/blacks.html.
The principal investigator for the project, Dr. Clarence G. Williams,
recently published Technology and the Dream: Reflections on
the Black Experience at MIT, 1941-1999, based upon this work.
See http://web.mit.edu/newsoffice/nr/2001/williams.html
for details.
The
Lewis Music Library is also conducting a series of oral histories.

would be grateful to receive further information about oral history
