http://www.worldcat.org/oclc/30995206

The collection consists of 23 interviews on 33 cassette tapes. The content of the interviews span the life histories of the individuals and address the topics of community and family life from the turn of the century to 1976. The majority of the interviews range from 80 to 100 minutes. No transcriptions were made of the interviews. Some of the tapes were transferred from reel-to-reel tapes held and retained by Mr. Gottlieb onto audio cassette tapes. The collection also contains 12 interview indexes with subject descriptions that have been compiled by Mr. Gottlieb to accompany the selected tapes. The indexes are to the reel-to-reel tapes and not to the cassette tapes, and therefore, the counter times will not correspond.

33 sound cassettes (23 interviews).
