Reese, Lee Fleming, 1980 July 2
Scope and Content
The interview series is organized alphabetically by the interviewee's last name and includes the interviews that were conducted with candidates who were selected to participate in the project. The collection includes an itemized list of the interviews used in the project, the interviewees' contact information, and the interview schedules. The interviews were done either in person or by phone and include typed transcripts of the conversations. Many of the interviews are with women who discussed the various jobs they had during the war that were traditionally performed by men. For example, some of the women worked as riveters, bus drivers, chief clerks in a tool room, group leaders, mechanics, machinists, ARC welders, and crane operators. Many of these jobs were the first ones these women ever had. Also included in this series are notes relating to the interview procedures and guidelines as outlined by the Human Subjects Committee that employees followed while interviewing candidates.
