| Description: |
USAMHI 's collection contains hundreds of oral histories (OH) interviews, with senior officers, primarily three and four star generals, describing their military careers. Also held are focused interviews which concern specific topics. Most of the oral histories have been done through a program administered by AWC and USAMHI. USAMHI has also received oral histories from other Army agencies and scholars. A variety of finding aids are available for the OH, to include a published bibliography for some of the earliest transcripts done in the AWC/USAMHI program, a hand list of projects, and an OH database. Brief descriptions of some OH transcripts can be found in the archives database, and the local on-line electronic catalog, CATS. Transcripts are made available to researchers in the reading room; most transcripts are intended to be used on-site. |
