INTRODUCTION

Since President Truman left office in January 1953, the HarryS. Truman Library has conducted an ongoing program to cap-ture recollections of the former President's life and timesthrough interviews with hundreds of his political associatesand advisers, family, and friends. These collected transcriptsadd new detail on Truman's life that cannot be found else-where, and are now available in this convenient microfichecollection from UPA.

Like more traditional historical records in public and pri-vate libraries and archives, oral histories provide hard data.However, they also provide candid personal perspectives onTruman, as President, politician, friend, and family member.

Interviews are recorded on tape and then transcribed.Transcripts are edited to improve continuity and readabilityand to ensure accuracy. Editors do not substantively changecontents, and remarks remain unexpurgated.

Scope and Content

The Harry S Truman Oral History Collection contains 389interviews from the holdings of the Harry S. Truman Librarywhich include recollections of Truman's presidency, politics,and personal life.

The collection emphasizes the promulgators of U.S. foreignpolicy and aid programs during the Truman years. Issues suchas the Berlin airlift, the United Nations, Communist contain-ment, and the Nationalist-Red China conflict are rememberedand examined by those who held crucial diplomatic and mili-tary positions during the Truman administration. Many ofTruman's key domestic advisers are also interviewed, recall-ing the "Fair Deal" economic program, labor unrest, the rootsof the modern-day civil rights movement, and many otherissues of the Truman years. In addition, interviews with a widerange of political and personal associates provide researcherswith a diversity of observations on Truman as a politician,friend, and family man.

The Truman Library continues to conduct interviews, andinterviews formerly closed continue to be opened to the public

according to the terms of their access agreements. UFA an-ticipates the possibility of supplementing this collection withadditional Harry S Truman Oral Histories as they are openedand we are given permission to reproduce them.
