The oral history program actively seeks to collect oral histories from people who can relate relevant information about Duke University Medical Center and Health System. These people include doctors, administrators, nurses, staff, community members, politicians, etc., but the focus of the interviews is on the culture and growth of the medical center and health system and how that culture and growth intersects individual lives. The oral history program endeavors to support the existing and planned collections of the Duke University Medical Center Archives, where the oral history collection is housed. There may be times when, by purposeful design, the oral history program seeks to collect stories from people who are not represented in the documentation within the archives but whose stories are nevertheless important in understanding the history of the medical center and health system. The oral history collection consists of stories that are useful for researchers studying the history of Duke and researchers studying overall medical culture and advances.
