Standard Rights Statement
Oral history is a method of collecting historical information through recorded interviews between a narrator with firsthand knowledge of historically significant events and a well-informed interviewer, with the goal of preserving substantive additions to the historical record. Because it is primary material, oral history is not intended to present the final, verified, or complete narrative of events. It is a spoken account. It reflects personal opinion offered by the interviewee in response to questioning, and as such it is partisan, deeply involved, and irreplaceable. Literary rights in the manuscript, including the right to publish, are typically reserved to The Bancroft Library of the University of California, Berkeley, but in some cases are retained by third parties. Please see the information at the beginning of each transcript regarding permission information.
