World War II
The following interviews belong to the World War II collection. They are arranged in alphabetical order. By accessing any interview transcript, you acknowledge your understanding of the Program’s policies on using interviews, given in the Using the Collections section. Transcripts are only available for Category “E” interviews whose OHP Control Numbers (OHPCN) are hyperlinked. Remember that interviews whose transcripts do not appear online are still often available either by email or at the Program’s office in Tallahassee.
What the Columns Indicate:
Interviewee: The person(s) interviewed.
OHPCN: The OHP Control Number, or the unique identification code the Program uses to track the interview. You will need to include this code in any inquiries, as some interviewees have provided multiple interviews.
VHPCN: The Veterans History Project collection number. The Veterans History Project (VHP), operated by the Library of Congress, collects and archives personal recollections of U.S. wartime veterans and home front civilians who worked in support of the armed forces of the United States. Only those interviews that have been submitted to the VHP include collection numbers, and you can access the VHP page for each interviewee by clicking on their VHPCN. You can also visit the VHP webpage directly and search the entirety of their collections. All interviews conform to Veteran History Project standards.
Status: R = Read Only; S = Onsite Research; E = Electronic Research. See Using the Collections for details about these distinctions.
Date: Date (if known) the interview took place.
WW2: Many of the interviewees who have contributed to this collection have also deposited valuable memorabilia to FSU’s Institute on World War II and the Human Experience. If the WW2 field contains a “Y,” this indicates that the Institute holds items from the interviewee. Contact the Institute about these items by email or by visiting their website.
Abstract: Basic information about the interview or the interviewee. If you would like to know more about an interview, either access the transcript if it is available, or contact the Program.
