CA Regional Oral History Office turns up the volume

Ack writes One From CA that says history is written by the victors, goes the saying, and the official record of significant events does seem to favor those who benefit most from their outcome. Yet ascertaining what really happened also means determining what role may have been played by those people not immortalized in newspaper articles, biographies, or carefully archived letters.

That’s where the Regional Oral History Office (ROHO), a division of UC Berkeley’s Bancroft Library, comes in.”
