Historical Note:
"Oceanography: The Making of a Science" program was sponsored by the
U.S. Office of Naval Research and The H. John Heinz III Center for Science,
Economics and the Environment. It consisted of five regional and one national
colloquia held from January through March 2000 and featured presentations on
historical and contemporary topics in oceanography. The regional colloquia were
held at the University of Washington (Seattle, WA); the University of Miami
(Miami, FL); Scripps Institution of Oceanography (San Diego, CA); Texas A&M
University (College Station, TX); and Woods Hole Oceanographic Institution
(Woods Hole, MA). The national colloquia was held at the U.S. Senate Hart
Building in Washington, D.C.
This collection consists of videotapes of the proceedings of the
"Oceanography: The Making of a Science" colloquia series and videotape
interviews of leading oceanographers and scholars produced as the oral history
component of the colloquia. Included is the complete and unedited raw footage
of more than 100 colloquia presentations and 45 oral history interviews.
Printed material accompanying the collection consists of an overview booklet
with essays from representatives of the sponsoring organizations, programs for
each of the colloquia, and a paper presented at the University of Washington
regional colloquia by Oregon State University President Emeritus John V. Byrne
on the development of oceanographic studies at OSU. The oral history tapes
include interviews with OSU oceanographers John V. Byrne and Larry Small. OSU
faculty member Ron Doel served as one of the oral history interviewers.
The tapes are organized in two groups -- the colloquia proceedings and
the oral history project. The colloquia tapes are arranged by site. The oral
history project tapes are arranged by the site of the interviews and then by
correspondent. All of the videotapes are VHS format cassettes. At the present
time, there are no transcripts available for the oral histories.
