Abstact   The Armed Forces Institute of Pathology (AFIP) Oral History Collection is a collection of interviews with AFIP directors and staff members, conducted by Charles Stuart Kennedy, Director of the Foreign Affairs Oral History Program at Georgetown University. The histories were taken between 1992 and 1993. Most of the interviews are videotaped; some are on audiotape. The interviews discuss the subjects' backgrounds and education, their fields, and the history and staff of the AFIP. Also covered are the changes at the AFIP, such as bringing in the Navy and Air Force, relationships between civilians and the military, wars, the Berry Plan, the Medical Museum, teaching and publications, research, daily operations, and the AFIP's relationship with Congress.

Quantity   3 cubic feet; 2 boxes. No resources are being added to the collection at this time.
