Scope and Contents

The Princetoniana Committee Oral History Project (POHP) Records consist of oral history interview transcripts from three separate oral history projects and related materials. The first set of transcripts consists of interviews with prominent Princeton Alumni assembled for the 1996 book Going Back: An Oral History of Princeton. Also included are correspondence pertaining to the project and audio recordings of interviews. The second set of transcripts consists of oral history interviews undertaken by alumni to capture various aspects of Princeton's history and includes Old Guard alumni, early alumnae, and others with significant Princeton connections. The project started in 2006 and is ongoing. Also included are interview release forms for the interview subjects.
