Oral History
Oral History interviews with SLAC staff and users have
been conducted at SLAC and at other institutions by SLAC
Archives and History Office staff and by others interested
in the history of physics and computing. Information
collected in these interviews supplements original
correspondence and other primary source materials collected
by the Archives and History Office.
SLAC Interviews
Interviews have been conducted by SLAC staff on an
irregular basis, as resources have permitted. The Archives
and History Office staff are currently working on a project
to identify all past interview subjects, locate interview
tapes and permission forms, and create interview
transcripts. Our holdings contain tapes or transcripts of
interviews with the following staff members and users:

AIP Interviews
Interviews taped with the following individuals and
groups have been deposited with the
American Institute of
Physics Center for the History of Physics. Transcripts
may be obtained from the AIP, subject to restrictions
imposed by the AIP, the interviewer or the subject. Typical
AIP restrictions include allowing reading of interview
transcripts by any researcher with an approved access
application on file, but copies (usually of excerpts only)
and quotes may not be made without permission from the
individual who was interviewed. Use the Center's
International Catalog of Sources to locate more
information about these oral histories. This list is by no
means comprehensive.
