The history of chemical engineering encompasses [http://www.chemheritage.org/discover/media/magazine/articles/26-3-the-first-century-of-chemical-engineering.aspx more than 100 years] and hundreds of thousands of engineers. Many of the engineers who founded the profession and established the discipline in the first half of the 20th century remain “household names” in chemical engineering labs and industry. In 2008, AIChE’s Centennial Celebration Committee tipped its hat to a select few of these engineering heroes of the “Foundation Age” —prior to World War II.
"Simply put, oral history collects spoken memories and personal commentaries of historical significance through recorded interviews."
Donald A. Ritchie, Doing Oral History, 1995


----
You might be wondering why we call these documents "oral histories" rather than "interviews." An interview is a finished product that you might see in the newspaper, on TV, or in some other medium. It is meant to convey particular information.


'''[http://www.chemheritage.org/discover/collections/oral-histories/details/amundson-neal-r.aspx Neal R. Amundson]''' (1916–2011)<br>BS and MS in chemical engineering, PhD in mathematics, Univ. of Minnesota. Recognized for achievements as a pioneering chemical engineering educator; chair of the 1988 U.S. National Research Council report “Frontiers in Chemical Engineering.
An oral history, on the other hand, is considered by historians to be a "primary source," raw data from which they will, in combination with other raw data, create historical narratives. Although a historian might also use a magazine interview or a videotaped speech as a primary source, an oral history is a document created by themselves or another historian through the informal recording of a dialogue between interviewer and interviewee. Although edited by the interviewer for flow and consistency, and by the interviewee to confirm that his or her words have been appropriately captured, an oral history transcript is relatively unedited when compared to other forms of interview.


'''[http://www.chemheritage.org/discover/online-resources/chemistry-in-history/themes/petrochemistry-and-synthetic-polymers/synthetic-polymers/baekeland.aspx Leo Baekeland] '''(1863–1944)<br>Recognized for achievements including the invention of Velox photographic paper and the discovered [http://www.chemheritage.org/discover/online-resources/conflicts-in-chemistry/the-case-of-plastics/blog/material-of-a-thousand-uses.aspx Bakelite]. One of the founders of the [http://www.aiche.org American Institute of Chemical Engineers (AIChE)].
The Engineering and Technology History Wiki is determined to preserve as source material for the future historians of technology the personal memories of pioneers in the electrical, electronics, and computer fields, the technologists who transformed the world in the 20th and 21st centuries. We also preserve the personal memories of those who have played major roles in the various engineering associations.


'''[http://www.chemheritage.org/discover/collections/oral-histories/details/benedict-manson.aspx Manson Benedict]''' (1907–2006)<br>BS in chemistry, Cornell Univ.; PhD in physical chemistry, MIT. Recognized for leadership including: headed development of uranium U-235 gaseous diffusion plant; Benedict-Webb-Rubin equation of state for fluid dynamics.
When we first began collecting these interviews, we assumed that the only people who would see the results would be professional historians. With the advent of the Web, text recognition, and related technologies, it is suddenly possible for us to make these wonderful documents available to anyone, any time.


'''William Burton''' (1865–1954)<br>BS, Western Reserve Univ.; PhD, Johns Hopkins Univ. Recognized for achievements including invention of petroleum thermal cracking.
But as a result, there may be a misunderstanding about what these are. Since they are minimally edited, they may not "read" like other interviews you have seen. They may seem disorganized, reflecting the differences between a conversation and a printed story. Statements made by interviewees have not been checked for accuracy. We hope you will enjoy and find useful the stories of these fascinating men and women, but please take this disclaimer into account as you make use of them.

Revision as of 14:39, 6 January 2015

"Simply put, oral history collects spoken memories and personal commentaries of historical significance through recorded interviews." Donald A. Ritchie, Doing Oral History, 1995

You might be wondering why we call these documents "oral histories" rather than "interviews." An interview is a finished product that you might see in the newspaper, on TV, or in some other medium. It is meant to convey particular information.

An oral history, on the other hand, is considered by historians to be a "primary source," raw data from which they will, in combination with other raw data, create historical narratives. Although a historian might also use a magazine interview or a videotaped speech as a primary source, an oral history is a document created by themselves or another historian through the informal recording of a dialogue between interviewer and interviewee. Although edited by the interviewer for flow and consistency, and by the interviewee to confirm that his or her words have been appropriately captured, an oral history transcript is relatively unedited when compared to other forms of interview.

The Engineering and Technology History Wiki is determined to preserve as source material for the future historians of technology the personal memories of pioneers in the electrical, electronics, and computer fields, the technologists who transformed the world in the 20th and 21st centuries. We also preserve the personal memories of those who have played major roles in the various engineering associations.

When we first began collecting these interviews, we assumed that the only people who would see the results would be professional historians. With the advent of the Web, text recognition, and related technologies, it is suddenly possible for us to make these wonderful documents available to anyone, any time.

But as a result, there may be a misunderstanding about what these are. Since they are minimally edited, they may not "read" like other interviews you have seen. They may seem disorganized, reflecting the differences between a conversation and a printed story. Statements made by interviewees have not been checked for accuracy. We hope you will enjoy and find useful the stories of these fascinating men and women, but please take this disclaimer into account as you make use of them.
