Hugh Cates interviews Gerald Ford with Phil Landrum in Vail, Colorado, July 10, 1978. Russell Foundation Oral History Project.
Overview

There are currently three oral history collections available for research. Major interview figures and topics are: Richard B. Russell, Jr., Dean Rusk, and D.W. Brooks. Interviews were conducted typically to gather information about a central figure, either as research for historical publication or in support of a manuscript collection at the Russell Library. The depth of the interviews varies greatly among oral histories, and thus reflects both the interviewers' original intents in the information-gathering session and the interviewees' knowledge on the specified subject. Audiocassettes or CDs and transcripts are available for use at the Russell Library. Registered researchers may request oral history transcripts through an Interlibrary Loan. These may be obtained by filling out a research application and faxing to the attention of the Russell Library at 706-542-4144. After we have received your application, you can request specific transcripts by giving the name of the Oral History collection, the name of the interviewee, and (if applicable) the letter/number identifier. Within the Richard B. Russell Oral History Collection, different interviewers conducted oral histories with some of the same people. Please designate which interview by giving both the interviewer and interviewee's name.
