Series 2: Interviews with shipyard and child care workers, 1974-1976Return to Top
Karen Beck Skold assigned each interview a number, and, in most cases, she used these numbers rather than the subjects' names when citing the interviews in her dissertation. The interviews are arranged in Skold's original numerical order, with the interview number given in parentheses in the title. One interview did not have a number, and it is listed at the end. Each interview was also assigned an individual sound recording (SR) number by the Oregon Historical Society Research Library.
This series consists of interviews that Karen Beck Skold conducted with people, predominantly women, who worked at shipyards and in child care in the Portland, Oregon, area during World War II. The series also includes Skold's interview questions and notes, as well as administrative documents related to the interviews. Most of the people Skold interviewed worked at the Kaiser shipyards, including the Oregon Shipbuilding Corporation yard. A few were employed at Albina Engine & Machine Works and at Commercial Iron Works; one interviewee worked at the Tacoma-Seattle Shipbuilding Corporation in Washington. The interviewees were primarily welders, ship fitters, and drivers, but also include women who worked as teachers and nurses at child care centers in the shipyards or in war housing projects. Most interviews include transcripts, but not all transcripts are complete. All audio recordings and complete transcripts are available online in OHS Digital Collections. Incomplete transcripts are available only for in-person use at the Oregon Historical Society Research Library.
