| JSC Oral History Project
(Project Brochure)
Established
in 1996, the goal of the NASA Johnson Space Center Oral History
Project (JSC OHP) is to capture history from the individuals
who first provided the country and the world with an avenue
to space and the moon. Participants include managers, engineers,
technicians, doctors, astronauts, and other employees of NASA
and aerospace contractors who served in key roles during the
Mercury, Gemini, Apollo, Skylab, and Shuttle programs.
These
oral histories ensure that the words of these pioneers live
on to tell future generations about the excitement and lessons
of space exploration. Oral history interviews began in the summer
of 1997, and since that time more than 675 individuals have
participated in the NASA Oral History projects.

The
STS Recordation Oral History Project
involves the collection of history from key individuals formerly
and currently associated with the agency’s Space Shuttle
Program (SSP), focusing on the Space Shuttle Orbiter and its
related components. These interviews include information on
a number of Space Shuttle Program aspects from concept development
to retirement, and focus on design, hardware evolution, and
changes in response to the two Space Shuttle accidents.
In
addition, the JSC Space Shuttle Program Tacit
Knowledge Capture Project was commissioned by the JSC Chief
Knowledge Officer and the Space Shuttle Program Manager, and
includes twenty interviews with current and former key members
of the Space Shuttle Program.
In
conjunction with the NASA JSC Oral History Project, oral history
sessions were conducted for the NASA Headquarters History Office:
Administrators; NACA;
Herstory; Earth
System Science; Aviatrix Pioneers;
Ballistic Missile Development Pioneers;
NASA at 50.
Also
an Oral History Project was conducted to capture the experiences
from those individuals involved with the Shuttle-Mir
Program (ISS Phase 1).
The
audio recordings are located at The
University of Houston - Clear Lake in the JSC History Collection.
The
transcripts have been exported to individual Adobe Acrobat PDF files
for easy searching and viewing. You will need the free
Adobe Acrobat Reader to view these files.
Signed
releases from the participants are located in the JSC History Collection.
The
audio documentary, Apollo
8: Earth's Rise to a New Era, features excerpts of oral histories
combined with a narration to present a unique perspective on a venture
that resulted in humankind's first voyage to another celestial body.
The transcripts are available from the alphabetical
