Oral Histories
Main navigation
The focus of these projects is to conduct oral histories with members of the government information community who have devoted much of their careers to the field. The goals are to provide a better understanding of the history of government information librarianship and GODORT as well as gather information regarding the process and the progress of protecting free access to government-produced information.
