Earthquake Engineering Research Institute: Honors

The intent of the EERI oral history project is to publish a series of interviews with prominent figures in the field of earthquake engineering to preserve some of the rich history of those who have pioneered in shaping seismic design theory and practice. The interviews were conducted by the late Stanley Scott, research political scientist at the Institute of Governmental Studies at the University of California at Berkeley, except for the Nicholas Forell and Henry J. Brunnier interviews, which were done by Joseph P. Nicoletti and Frank Killinger, respectively. Scott's interview of Joseph Penzien was supplemented by Robert Reitherman.

To be the subject of an EERI oral history, individuals must meet the following criteria:

have made an outstanding career-long contribution to earthquake engineering,
have valuable first-person accounts to offer concerning the history of earthquake engineering, and
have backgrounds, considering the series as a whole, that appropriately span the various disciplines that are included in the field of earthquake engineering

The following PDF files are searchable in Acrobat by clicking on the "binoculars" icon. After the first time a word or phrase is found, it can be found again by clicking on the icon next to the binoculars icon (a smaller binoculars with arrow).

These PDFs are restricted to "view only". You won't be able to copy or print from these files. Each oral history is in print and available for purchase at the Online Store.
