The collection amounts to over 100,000 pages of transcripts of tape-recorded conversations collected by the Office since 1948. Many of the earlier interviews record memories back into the 19th and early 20th centuries. The full publication comprises one of the most significant sets of original sources in United States history available to students seeking to work with such sources. Because the transcripts are renditions of spoken dialogue they are easily comprehensible to most students at the high school and community college level as well as scholars, and offer insight into the background and motivation of a wide array of decisions in almost every aspect of recent history.
