Administrative Information
Processing Information
In 2016 access copies were created for born-digital files. Floppy disks contained multiple drafts of the same transcript. Files determined to be the final version were converted to PDF/A for access. Video files found on DVDs were BUP, IFO, and VOB file formats. Because the BUP and IFO files did not contain significant interview content, only the VOB files were converted to MP4 for access.
Audiocassettes were digitized and MP3 files are provided for access. Microcassettes were assumed to be duplicates and were not digitized. JVC digital videocassettes were also digitized.
In July 2017 UNLV Libraries Special Collections and Archives began transcribing interviews without corresponding transcripts. This work concluded in June 2018.
