ORAL HISTORY
Most of the "oral histories" within the Microform Collection are from the hundreds of participants in government and public affairs and can be found in such sets as Oral Histories of the Johnson administration; Kennedy administration; and the Eisenhower administration. If you have an individual in mind, try ALICE word-search, e.g. last name & 'oral'. Individual histories are not always represented in ALICE and it is often necessary to consult guides to collections likely to have material of interest. The following represent library holdings from the Columbia University Oral History Program and from the New York Times Oral History series separate from the above mentioned presidential administrations.
