Oral Histories in the Gerald R. Ford Library
The Ford Presidential Library acquires interview records created by journalists,
historians, political scientists, memoirists and their research assistants,
independent writers, and others. We are very grateful to these donors for making
their research materials available to future generations. The Library also
has a relatively small number of interviews created by National Archives staff,
sometimes with Gerald R. Ford Foundation funding.
The list below cites oral history and comparable interview records (whether a
transcript, a tape/CD, or a researcher's written summary) now available to research.
A large number of additional interview records, not listed and not now open to
research, are at the Library in unprocessed or partly processed collections.
Some of these unprocessed interviews have donor or interviewee-imposed access
restrictions.
There was no major Ford Library Oral History Project. Moreover, the Ford
White House discontinued a Nixon-era program by which National Archives staff
conducted oral history exit interviews with departing White House staff.
