This series contains correspondence to interviewees to provide them with instructions on reviewing the transcript of their interview and the types of materials to correct, as well as release forms from the interviewees. Also included are the transcripts that were marked by the interviewees with their corrections. The correspondence is predominantly form letters. However, there is occasional correspondence specifically directed to an individual either to address concerns they raised about the transcript or to follow up regarding the status of the respective transcript and release. (Some additional correspondence with interviewees can be found in the Interview Notes and Background Materials in Series 3). Release forms and transcripts have been marked by the interviewees regarding any seals that they wished to place on their interview as well as information they wished to have deleted from the transcript, making the transcripts unavailable to researchers until the seals expires, or not at all in cases were text was deleted. Some interviewees did not return corrected copies of their transcripts. If correspondence in this series reflected the narrator's opinion and/or reservations regarding the transcript and interview, the original was placed with the interview transcript for that individual and a copy retained in this series. As noted above, access to some of the corrected narrator transcripts in this series is either permanently or temporarily restricted. All such restrictions are noted in the box and folder list.
