This project traces the first 58 years of Andrew Carnegie's central philanthropic organization. Officers, staff members, and grant recipients discuss its work in adult education, area studies, art education, cognitive research, education testing, library science, music education, national security, social science research, teacher education, and other areas. The Corporation's relations with other Carnegie institutions over the years are delineated in many memoirs. Others detail the Corporation's own administrative history, as well as its relations with other major foundations and the federal government. Others trace the work of independent agencies which originally received all or part of their funds from the foundation. In general the design of the project was to provide comprehensive and candid information about the foundation, its work, and those who have served "to promote the advancement and diffusion of knowledge and under- standing."

A major collection of interviews relating to gay and lesbian (homosexual) experience in Britain. The original oral history project was established in 1985 as part of the Hall Carpenter Archives, which had been set up in 1982. In 1989 the archives were forced to close due to lack of funding (partly due to the demise of the Greater London Council) and the collections were dispersed. The archives of press cuttings, publications, manuscripts and ephemera relating to gay and lesbian groups were deposited with the London School of Economics. The oral history collection, including correspondance and some transcripts, was donated to the National Sound Archive in 1989. C456/01-64 comprise the collection as deposited. C456/65 onwards (to C456/128 as at July 2000) comprise additional interviews commissioned by the NSA.

The Institute of Inter-American Affairs was established in 1942 under the Good Neighbor Policy of the administration of Franklin D. Roosevelt. Nelson A. Rockefeller served as first coordinator. The aims of the institute were to develop and administer a program of economic and social aid to various Latin American nations. These memoirs, conducted by James D. Williams and donated to the Oral History Collection, were conducted with the various officials and aid workers associated with the institute from 1942 to 1948. Recollections include testimony on the economic and social structure of the nations in which they worked, the formulation of early American aid policy, and memoirs of personal life and relations within the institute. Copies of the transcripts and tapes of the interviews are deposited at the Oral History Program, Sangamon State University, Springfield, Illinois.
