ORAL HISTORY PROJECT

Project Leader:  Irv Joel

The Guidelines of the AES Historical Committee include:

2.13 Record oral histories (sound only, sound with video, and/or sound with still photographs) of important figures in the history of audio engineering.

The Project is responsible for coordinating and recording interviews which will preserve a first hand recording and/or text transcription of the recollections of persons involved with important audio engineering inventions and/or events, for future generations.

Our main goal at this moment is to record the interviews. Because  we have only a small volunteer staff, we will edit these recordings  as time permits into a form that we can make available. At this time, none of the interviews are available.
 

Here is the List of Completed Interviews and Interview Candidates.

The Interview Guidelines, based on our experience, recommend procedures for recording oral interviews. The Release Form can be printed from this pdf file. Comments and suggestions for improvements should be sent to the project leader, Irv Joel.
