The Annenberg School for Communication Library Archives (ASCLA) is excited to announce the release of a four-session oral history interview with Oscar H. Gandy, Jr.:

The interview includes transcripts synced to video, along with PDF downloads.

The interviews are part of the Communication Scholars Oral History Project, an initiative of the Annenberg School for Communication Library Archives (ASCLA):

The Oral History Project was launched in 2016 to record the life and intellectual histories of senior Annenberg School scholars. Interviews with Larry Gross, Joseph Turow are currently in processing; and interviews with Carolyn Marvin and Robert Hornik will complete the Annenberg phase of the project.

We are excited to share that the scope of the project will then move to the international field, with the aim to document the histories of a diverse range of senior communication and media scholars from around the globe.

The Communication Scholars Oral History Project is among the growing collection of materials hosted by ASCLA on the history of the field. Among the collections:

* George Gerbner Papers (1951 – 2006)
* Elihu Katz Papers (1948 – 2014)
* International Communication Organization (ICA) Records
* *Studies in Visual Communication*

Among the collections in processing:

* Herbert I. Schiller Papers (1919 – 2000)
* Gail Cameron Wescott papers (1932 – 2022)
* Al Sikes FCC papers (1939 –)
* Michael J. Copps FCC papers (1940 –)

We are excited, in addition, to welcome the donation of records of the Union for Democratic Communication (UDC), after a membership vote at the association’s 2023 meeting.

ASCLA also maintains collections on journalism and media. Please contact lead archivist Samantha Dodd Summerbell ((samantha.dodd /at/ asc.upenn.edu) <https://mailto:(samantha.dodd /at/ asc.upenn.edu)>) (for general ASCLA queries) and/or subject consultant Jeff Pooley ((jeff.pooley /at/ asc.upenn.edu) <https://mailto:(jeff.pooley /at/ asc.upenn.edu)>) (for oral history-specific queries) with any questions
