Oral Histories
Two distinct oral history programs were established at UCAR in 1986 as part of the effort to define and clarify the recent history of the atmospheric sciences. Interviews are available on audiocassette tape and in many cases, as transcripts.
The AMS Tape Recorded Interview Project (AMS-TRIP) was created as a joint program between the American Meteorological Society and UCAR. The project is especially rich in interviews that capture the memories of scientists who launched much of the innovative meteorological research in postwar America. (The American Meteorological Society is a non-profit organization. The opinions, findings, conclusions, statements, and other information contained in the Tape Recorded Interview Project, or in any abstract or transcripton thereof, reflect the opinions of the narrator and interviewer of the tape or transcript only, and do not necessarily reflect the opinion of the American Meteorological Society.)
UCAR / NCAR Oral History Project documents the history of UCAR through interviews and recorded discussions and lectures by staff and others. The project has a strong focus on the creation and development of NCAR as well as the design and construction of the Mesa Laboratory by I.M. Pei, early in the Center's history. (The University Corporation for Atmospheric Research is a non-profit consortium of university members and affiliates. The National Center for Atmospheric Research is sponsored by the National Science Foundation. Any opinions, findings, conclusions, statements, and other information expressed in the interviews, or in any abstract or transcripton thereof, reflect the opinions of the narrator and interviewer of the tape or transcript only, and do not necessarily reflect the views of UCAR / NCAR, or the National Science Foundation.)
