ORAL HISTORY PROJECT

Project Leader: 
Irv Joel, long-standing project leader has decided to step down after conducting many fascinating interviews internationally. We are grateful for his contributions over the years. Many of interviews he conducted over the years are now available for sale. We will be searching for new project leaders;  Ideally, a person who could organize US-based interviews, and a second organizer for interviews based in Europe. Please contact Bill Wray and Gene Radzik if you are interested in carrying on this important work.

Through the dedicated video editing work of volunteer Harry Hirsch, oral history interviews are now available at the Historical Committee Web Store.

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.

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.
