Scope and Contents
This is an artificially assembled collection of oral histories recorded with administration, faculty, staff, alumni, students, and other Johns Hopkins University affiliates, 1999-2004 and 2014-present. The early oral history interviews were faciliated by Mame Warren starting 1999, and as of 2014 by Hopkins Retrospective.
Arrangement
Files have been organized in alphabetical order within each series.
Custodial History
In 1999, Mame Warren was commissioned to write a history commemorating The Johns Hopkins University’s 125th anniversary. The basis for the book, Johns Hopkins: Knowledge for the World: 1876-2001, was a series of oral history interviews with Hopkins faculty, administrators and alumni. She transferred the tapes, transcripts, and research notes to Special Collections in 2001. Interviews conducted by Warren after 2001 were done under the auspices of Hopkins History Enterprises, an oral history and editorial service provided by the Sheridan Libraries for the Johns Hopkins community and beyond, and as part of a project called Hopkins History On-Line. Since 2014, Professor Stuart "Bill" Leslie and Hopkins Retrospective Program Manager Jennifer Kinniff have conducted interviews under the auspices of the program Hopkins Retrospective.
Immediate Source of Acquisition
The first accrual was transferred to Special Collections by Mame Warren in 2001, and several subsequent accruals were transferred between 2001 to 2007. The interviews conducted by Hopkins Retrospective and the Ferdinand Hamburger University Archives were transferred to the University Archives starting in 2015 to the present, and transferred annually.
Appraisal
Oral history with James Hopkins was deaccessioned from the Mame Warren oral histories series in 2018 because it was determined that this oral history fulfilled its original purpose as research support for Warren's book and had no ongoing utility.
