The Oral History of SUNY Project, 1988-2006, Undated

Extent:: 3.2 cubic ft.
Scope and content:: The first series in the Fausold Collection consists of interviews conducted by Fausold for the Oral History of SUNY project from 1988 to 1997. Fausold’s colleague Wayne Mahood, a Distinguished Professor of Education at SUNY Geneseo, helped conduct some of the interviews as did others. The archivist noted interviews not conducted by Fausold in the inventory below as well as the titles held by the interviewees in the SUNY System or within New York State government. This series includes both the recorded interviews on audio cassettes as well as paper transcripts. A small number of interviews, however, are not transcribed. A majority of the interviews transcribed feature multiple versions, as both Fausold and the interviewee edited them. Interview files typically contain interview transcriptions, a clearance form signed by the interviewee, and background information. Fausold kept lists of interviewees, potential interviewees, and the status of each interview.
Arrangement:: Arranged alphabetically.

Using these materials

Access:: The archives are open to the public and anyone is welcome to visit and view the collections.

Collection restrictions:: Access to this record group is unrestricted with the exception of several folders marked below. While Fausold subsequently asked individuals interviewed for the Oral History of SUNY Project to sign a clearance form, not all interview files donated to the archive contain forms. Therefore notes, transcripts and audio of a select number of interviews are restricted until clearance may be obtained by the archivists from the interviewees or their heirs.
Collection terms of access:: The researcher assumes full responsibility for conforming with the laws of copyright. Whenever possible, the M.E. Grenander Department of Special Collections and Archives will provide information about copyright owners and other restrictions, but the legal determination ultimately rests with the researcher. Requests for permission to publish material from this collection should be discussed with the Head of Special Collections and Archives.
