Oral history interviews offer insights about events, motivations, and
memories that other sources do not provide. Vanderbilt University is now
following the national trend of adding a systematic oral history
component to its institutional history holdings in the university
archives. Over seventy-five interviews with nearly fifty former
administrators, faculty, staff, and students give alumni, students, and
researchers a windows into the recent past of Vanderbilt University, and
serve to publicize the rich heritage of the institution to the community
and potential students, as well. Many of the key persons involved in the
life of our university since World War II have been available and
willing to participate in building an oral history holdings in the
archives. The knowledge, perspective, and experience of these men and
women has been captured and preserved for future generations of the
Vanderbilt University family via archived tapes and transcripts. This
Internet Web site supports these interviews, enabling alumni,
researchers, and others to use Vanderbilt's oral history holdings from
remote locations.
