Funding This catalogue was made possible through the generosity of the San Francisco Foundation. Foreword - Charles B. Faulhaber James D. Hart's Foreword to Catalogue I of the Regional Oral History Office (ROHO) recounts the Office's inspiration in the "Dictations" commissioned by Hubert Howe Bancroft in the 1870s as he gathered material for his monumental histories of the North American West. These dictations, essentially transcriptions of conversations with early California settlers, remain Catalogue II of the Regional Oral 2 History Office, 1980-1997 in daily use in The Bancroft Library as primary sources for the history of nineteenth century California. They are complemented by over a thousand volumes of oral histories that ROHO has recorded and transcribed since its founding in 1954. The 1980 Catalogue of the Regional Oral History Office (Catalogue I) lists 388 volumes of interviews completed during ROHO's first twenty-five years. Now, almost twenty years later, Catalogue II enumerates an even more outstanding record of accomplishment: 625 volumes of interviews reflecting important areas of historical scholarship. As was true in Catalogue I, many of the volumes echo with multiple voices, in all over 1360 interviewees. And where Catalogue I taps the memories of Californians whose stories stretched back to pioneer forebears, the 1906 earthquake, World War I, women's suffrage and the early labor movement, Catalogue II brings the story dramatically up to date in a world where the Vietnam War, the free speech movement, women in politics, AIDS, and environmentalism are signal issues. Here in Catalogue II are the generation of winegrowers who re-created the industry after Prohibition, the lawyers and judges who have made the California Supreme Court arguably the most influential state tribunal in the country, the artists and musicians who have enriched our lives, the philanthropists who have given of their time and money to make the Bay Area a better place to live, the business people who have created one of the most dynamic regional economies in the United States. Many of the oral histories catalogued here are the accounts of well-known figures such as Ansel Adams, Kurt Herbert Adler, Allen E. Broussard, Edmund G. "Pat" Brown, John Burton, Louise Davies, March Fong Eu, Richard N. Goldman, David P. Gardner, Richard Gump, Walter A. Haas, Jr., S. I. Hayakawa, William Mailliard, Robert Mondavi, Pete Newell, Nicholas Petris, Ronald Reagan, Wallace Stegner, Mel Swig, Charles Townes, Earl Warren, Chuck Williams, Lionel Wilson. Other names round out the larger California story, people whose lives played out in more modest circumstances, like fisherman Dominic Ghio, whaler Pratt Peterson, and shipyard worker Vera Jones Bailey, all of Richmond in Contra Costa County, Monterey County rancher Margaret Rosenberg, Hayward floriculturist Toichi Domoto, Los Gatos nurseryman Edward S. Carman. All, however, have been interviewed because, in the words of ROHO's guiding principle, "they have made significant contributions to the development of northern California, the West, and the nation." Several of the oral history volumes capture the account of an entire community, such as in the series of interviews surrounding the McLaughlin Mine in Lake County, in which mining executives, business people, ranchers, politicians, teachers, environmental activists and the miners themselves offer a polyphony of voices and a multiplicity of perspectives. In the oral history of Patterson Ranch in Fremont, and that of the University of California's Blake House, many lives, family and community, constitute a complex set of narratives. It is a truism to state that ROHO's histories reflect California's history, and it is therefore no accident that in the work of the last twenty years the focus should have turned to the political and social issues that have loomed large in the recent history of the state: a series on the Disabled Persons Independence Movement, which got its start in Berkeley, for instance. In collaboration with The Bancroft Library's History of Science and Technology Program, a series is underway on the biotechnology industry. University history, long a ROHO concern, has taken a new turn with the series on the history of the Department of History--metahistory, as it were. And where "Agriculture, Water Resources and Land Use" and "Conservation" are discrete subjects in Catalogue I, they come together under the grouping Natural Resources and the Environment in Catalogue II. The leading organizations and persons involved in environmental issues are being interviewed in an on-going documentation of that movement. One of the major differences between the 1979 publication and 1998's is the existence of the World Wide Web. Catalogue I was originally available only in print form. Now both Catalogue I and Catalogue II are available on the web to researchers and students all over the world. This has been possible thanks to The Bancroft Library's technical staff, who have encoded both catalogues in accordance with the standards of the Encoded Archival Description, developed at Berkeley and now accepted as a national standard for archival finding aids by the Library of Congress. Digital technology like the Encoded Archival Description is transforming the way research is done. The Regional Oral History Office has incorporated new technology as it has become technically and economically feasible to do so, beginning with the use of word processing programs to transcribe, edit, and index the interviews. One recent oral history has been experimentally incorporated into CD-ROM format and is offered as a demonstration case. Perhaps most dramatically, work is going ahead to make machine-readable transcripts of selected interviews available on the web, and that prospect is perhaps the one that most differentiates the original manuscripts of the Regional Oral History Office of a half-century ago from the ROHO of today. * * * A great number of people have made the oral histories listed in this catalogue possible, and I wish to express my gratitude to all of them: First of course, there are the interviewees themselves, who have shared their lives with us. Next, those individuals and organizations that have made it possible for ROHO to carry out this work by providing funding for individual Catalogue II of the Regional Oral 3 History Office, 1980-1997 oral histories, for series, or for ROHO itself. This support has been crucial, since almost all of ROHO's funding comes from external sources. Finally, ROHO's devoted staff, and particularly the interviewers and project directors who have been responsible for bringing to fruition the broad range of projects on topics that reflect the diversity and richness of life in contemporary California. This catalogue reflects the hard work, vision, and intelligence of all of ROHO's staff members; but three should be singled out for special praise: Willa Baum, who has been with ROHO since its inception in 1954 and has directed it with singular zeal for forty-four years; editor and interviewer Ann Lage who as associate director of the office handles ROHO's day-to-day operations; and editor and interviewer Suzanne Riess, who has edited Catalogue II. We are also grateful to the San Francisco Foundation, which has provided funding for the catalogue. Charles B. Faulhaber The James D.

  • He Politics of Business in California 1890-1920 SI 2.50
    he Politics of Business in California 1890-1920 SI 2.50 The Politics of Business in California. 1890-1920 Manse/ G. Blackford The American experience between the Civil War and World War I can perhaps be best understood as an attempt to reorder national life in the wake of a radical social and eco­ nomic disruption that was brought on by rapid industrialization. In California, even more than in other areas of the nation, fundamental and dramatic changes were to occur throughout the period as various sectors of the state's rapidly ex­ panding economy became both increasingly differentiated and more closely interdependent. Through a series of mergers and consolida­ tions, large, diversified, integrated, and multi­ level firms came to replace smaller, more specialized, independent, and single-level companies. Trade associations, marketing com­ bines, and other affiliations served to organize these emergent firms within each industry; and businessmen, acutely aware of a need for recognition of their status as members of a profession, began increasingly to act in con­ cert as a special-interest group, both in public, in their representations to legislative bodies, and in private, as apologists for commercial practice and as agents working to suppress competition and increase efficiency. Professor Blackford examines three of Cali­ fornia's more important basic productive in­ dustries—agriculture, oil, and lumber—and three of its principal supportive businesses — banking, investment banking, and insurance — together with two major issues that cut across industry lines: the growing movement to bring about state regulation of railroads and public utilities, and the effort to effect tax reform.
