FAIC Oral History Project Collection

Foundation for Advancement in Conservation Oral History Project

The Foundation for Advancement in Conservation (FAIC) launched its oral histoy project in 1975 under the leadership of Joyce Hill Stoner. This led to an invaluable history of the field in the form of interviews with conservators, conservation scientists, and related professionals. This collection contains both transcripts and recordings of interviews conducted from 1975 to the present.
