“From Margin to Center: Reframing the History of Women in Computing and Information Technology through Oral Histories

Bethany Anderson conducted six oral history interviews with women faculty in CS who are ACM Fellows, as well as members of the Women in Technology group (WIT), a group of IT professionals on campus. With the help of a graduate assistant, the interviews were transcribed and indexed in the University of Illinois Archives’ new oral history portal, “Voice of Illinois,” using the Oral History Metadata Synchronizer (OHMS). All interviews were also be preserved in the University of Illinois Library’s long-term digital preservation repository, Medusa.
