Abstract
The materials consist of audio recordings and transcripts of oral histories conducted by New Haven Oral History Project staff with New Haven, Connecticut, citizens.
Biographical / Historical
The New Haven Oral History Project (NHOHP) was founded in September, 2003 by Andrew Horowitz and Glenda Gilmore as a special project of the Yale University History Department. Support for the NHOHP comes from the Yale University President's Office, the Yale University Library Department of Manuscripts and Archives, and Yale's History and Political Science Departments. Past supporters have included the Yale College Dean's Office and the Community Foundation for Greater New Haven.
Materials Specific Details
Original digital audio recordings were created by a number of different interviewers. The original audio produced varied in size, file format, and file naming conventions. Many recordings were split into multiple parts by the original digital recording devices (logical files). Processed master files were created by merging the separate parts and normalizing into standard file formats. In some cases, naming conventions of the originals may have resulted in processed masters and use copies that were created in the incorrect order. When available, refer to the transcript for guidance in determing order of the recordings. Transcripts refer to the original audio files when providing contextual notes (e.g. [END TAPE 1]).
