The Oral History Program Collection contains recordings and transcripts of oral history interviews conducted from 1994 to the present. Some interviews provide information about the operations of Marjorie Merriweather Post’s residences and the heiress as a businesswoman, hostess, and socialite. Other interviews provide information about the operations of Hillwood as a museum over the years.

Kathi Ann Brown of Milestones Historical Consultants was contacted to develop an overall plan for the program, conduct interviews, develop forms, and coordinate transcription services and editing services. Interviews conducted by Kathi Ann Brown and Stephanie Brown were recorded using a TCM-5000EV Cassette-Corder. All interviews conducted by Estella Chung are born-digital using an Olympus Ds recorder. Interviews conducted by Jason Speck are made using a voice recorder mobile app capturing files in WAV format.
