Scope and Contents

This series contains audio recordings and transcripts of University Archive Office-sponsored interviews from faculty and administrators dating from the late 1960s to the early 1980s as well as correspondence, question lists, and project notes. Interview topics include the the establishment of various University departments and schools and their faculty, including the Courant Institute of Mathmatical Sciences; Department of Music and Performing Arts; NYU School of Law; the Graduate School of Social Work; and the Sociology and Anthropology Departments.

Historical Note

The University Archive Office conducted oral history interviews during the late 1960s to the 1980s by various interviewers, including University Archive Office Director Bayrd Still, who was the primary contact for the project. The interviews were intended to document memories of the University during the 20th century through its faculty, alumni, and staff. The University Archive worked closely with the Columbia University Oral History Program on this project, with Columbia University providing transcription services for many of the interview recordings.
