Its initial charge was to interview prominent emeritus faculty members about their research and careers at the University. Over the years, the Project's scope has expanded to include interviews with campus administrators, staff, and students as well as faculty. Interviews cover subjects such as the Teaching Assistants Strike of 1970, the UW Merger, the Arboretum, and printmaking at UW since World War II. Other significant historical themes run through many of the interviews, including the Depression, the return of the GIs after World War II, the protests against the Vietnam War, academic freedom, and gender and race issues.
