Transcripts and Interviews

This series contains videodisc (DVD) user copies of the master videocassette recordings as well as typed transcripts of most of the interviews.

Transcripts were made for Caouette by various student workers who watched the interviews. They have not been proofread. Not all interviews have an accompanying transcript. Transcripts are missing for the following individuals: Nellie Stone Johnson, Charles Garrettson, John Earl Haynes, Bill Kubicek, Katherine Long, Harry McPherson, David Roe, Jules Witcover, Ted Van Dyk, Inez Andreas, Al Eisele, William Shore, and Doug Humphrey.

The numbering for the DVDs was taken from the betacam videocassettes. Because a single videocassette was often used to record more than one interview, videocassette and DVD numbers may be shared by more than one interviewee.
