Oral Histories Conducted

The interviewees are categorized by the subject of the project in which they were interviewed, which is not necessarily the subject in which they made their most famous contributions. The majority of these interviews are part of the oral history collections of the Charles Babbage Institute, the IEEE History Center, the Princeton Mathematics in the 1930s Oral History Project (Seeley Mudd Library, Princeton University), or the Computer History Museum.
