New Stanford oral histories.
Hello SIGCIS, Those of you with an interest in the history of computer science might want to check out the Stanford Historical Society which has been conducting a lot of oral histories lately. One series with engineering faculty includes interviews with notables such as Donald Knuth, Vint Cerf, Martin Hellman and Jeffrey Ullman. The interviews are competently done and presented to a high standard. I am not a fan of the web interface used to browse the transcripts, but if you click the "Share and Download" button, then "Download" and then scroll all the way down to "Other download options" and click "Download Object 1" you can get the actual PDF. https://exhibits.stanford.edu/shs/catalog?f%5Bexhibit_tags%5D%5B%5D=Oral+His tories <https://exhibits.stanford.edu/shs/catalog?f%5Bexhibit_tags%5D%5B%5D=Oral+Hi stories&f%5Bexhibit_tags%5D%5B%5D=School+of+Engineering&f%5Bexhibit_tags%5D% 5B%5D=Faculty> &f%5Bexhibit_tags%5D%5B%5D=School+of+Engineering&f%5Bexhibit_tags%5D%5B%5D=F aculty There is also online access to the late-1980s series of Silicon Valley project interviews with well known figures from the early days of Silicon Valley. https://exhibits.stanford.edu/shs/browse/silicon-valley-project-interviews Best wishes, Tom
