Many hours of recollections of former students and
faculty members have been recorded and transcribed. Approximately twenty
hours of memoirs of refugees from Mexico who came to Texas during the Revolutionary
War period of 1910-1920 have also been recorded and transcribed. Some of
these interviews are in English, others are all in Spanish, and still others
are bilingual.

over fifty oceanographers from all over the United States have been interviewed.
Several additional interviews have been recorded with scientists who have
