AVS Historical Interviews |
In 1990 the AVS History Committee initiated an ongoing process of taping
video interviews of prominent persons associated in various ways with AVS.
Persons interviewed included those who had been active in the founding of
the Society and in its administration, people involved in the development of
vacuum and technologies of interest to AVS Divisions, and winners of AVS
Awards. From 1990 to 2003, about 70 video-taped interviews were organized
and conducted by James Lafferty. These videos have recently been re-recorded
on DVDs and will be available for purchase.
In 2004, Paul Holloway took over responsibility for the interview program.
He conducted interviews with the winners of the major AVS Awards in 2004
(video) and 2005 (audio).
To make these interviews accessible to members, AVS and AIP are cooperating
in preparing transcripts of these interviews. AIP already has an extensive
program of oral history interviews with important physicists
(www.aip.org). The AVS interview transcripts will be made available
on the AVS web site (www.avs.org) as they become available.
