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.
