Oral histories, 1972-2005

 Series
Identifier: Series 1

Scope and Contents

This series consists of oral history interviews conducted by Dr. James Hansen and his assistants between 1972 and 2005 to gather information for four books and a paper related to the history of Colorado State University. Interviews are divided into five categories according to the projects for which they were captured. Materials for most interviews include audio recordings (cassette tapes or digital files), transcripts, indices, biographical data, and notes taken by interviewers. Democracy's University oral histories also include digital correspondence, biographical data, indices, and transcripts. Oral histories are listed chronologically by project and then alphabetically by interviewee last name. Due to restrictions imposed by interviewees and the presence of student information in this series, files require review before research access is granted.

Restrictions on Access

Several interviewees have restricted access to their interviews and associated documents in Series 1. Further, due to the presence of student information, some files require review before research access is granted. All restrictions are noted in the inventory. Access to student information is open only to the student in question and to Colorado State University employees; however, access to others will be granted upon having written consent from the student or providing written proof that the student is deceased. Additionally, the collection is stored off-site, so advance notice is required.
