Note
The NMU Archives did not create the vast majority of the transcripts in this collection and cannot vouch for their accuracy or their completeness. Many transcripts are known to be of poor quality, while the quality of many others is unknown. Transcripts are a great tool for finding out the general topics covered by an interview, but we highly recommend listening to the recording.
