The Truman Library has approximately 500 interviews supplementing the written record of Harry S. Truman's life and times. The interviews are available in transcript form and range in length from fewer than 10 to over 1,000 pages, with most being between 20 and 200 pages. Most of the interviews include a name and subject index attached to the transcript. There is a cumulative index for the entire oral history collection available in the research room at the Library.

The list below gives the name of the person interviewed, his or her principal positions, and the number of pages in the transcript. This list does not include information about specific copyright or donor restrictions. This information is included with the individual interview transcripts. Interviews that were conducted by an oral history program other than the Library's are properly accredited.

The majority of the Library's oral history transcripts will be found through these pages but for those not yet available, researchers should remember that all the Library's unrestricted oral histories, plus all finding aids, are available through interlibrary loan. In requesting finding aids and oral histories, please identify the desired collections by full title and, for oral histories, date (ex. Clark M. Clifford oral history, October, 1973; Matthew J.
