The purpose of the Stanford Pride Oral History Project is to preserve narratives of the Stanford LGBTQIA community for teaching, learning, and research, to strengthen ties with Stanford alumni, and to engage alumni in documenting the community’s history. Interviews typically begin with questions about childhood, family background, and early education. Interviewees then explore topics related to identity, gender, and sexuality and discuss their experiences of LBGTQIA life at Stanford, their post-Stanford lives, and topics of their choosing. Finally, they offer advice for future members of the Stanford LGTBQIA community. The project steering committee was comprised of: Claude Baudoin, Anthony Lopez, Jessie Dubreuil, Raul Weho, Sunny Choi, and David Press. Jason Lin served as project coordinator. Project organizers have sought to capture the diverse history of the Stanford LGTBQIA community. Interviewees were recruited by Stanford Pride and Jason Lin (‘20). The project was begun in 2015 by Stanford Pride and revived in the summer of 2018 with generous funding from the Haas Center. It is part of the University Archives’ ongoing initiative to diversify the archives by acquiring, processing, and digitizing materials documenting Stanford women, the LGBTQIA community, and communities of color. Support for this and other Stanford Community History Toolkit projects was provided by the Stanford Associates, the Stanford Historical Society, and the Stanford University Archives.

This collection of oral history interviews pertaining to Stanford’s history contains audio recordings and transcripts of interviews.

Audio and video tapes of annual meetings and public presentations on various topics in Stanford's history, including the museum, the Western CIV program, the human biology program, Herbert Hoover and Stanford, history of heart transplantation, overseas studies, KZSU (the student radio station), history of the endowment, and the Hoover Carillon. There are also some announcements of talks and handouts given at talks.

The oral history interviews in the SOHP collection are carefully planned historical documents which we hope will serve a wide range of scholarly interests. Five additional sets of oral history interviews are listed separately: a set of interviews with members of the early Aurora newspaper collection; a set of interviews with participants in Stanford's Community Committee for International Students (CCIS); a set of interviews conducted by Joan Bromberg of the American Institute of Physics for the Laser History Project; a set of interviews with graduates of the Stanford School of Nursing; a set of interviews with Stanford-associated "Silicon Valley" scientists (a component of the Stanford and the Silicon Valley Project); and a set of interviews with family and friends of Dr. Reid Newell, professor in the School of Medicine.

Includes oral history interviews with Stanford University AAPI alumni and associated interview transcripts.
