Tamiment Library, New York University,
announced the formation of an
Oral History of the American Left
project, under the direction of Paul Buhle and
Roger Keeran, to record the experiences
of the veterans of radicalism in labor,
politics, and culture. The intent is to
create a central repository for those
interviews that already exist and insure
that many activists who have not yet
been interviewed will have their
experiences recorded. In time a guide to the
tapes will be issued by the library.
Inquiries should be addressed to the project at
Tamiment Library, New York University,
70 Washington Square, South, New
York, New York 10012.
