EERI Oral History Program

EERI Oral History Program

The EERI Oral History program publishes interviews with prominent figures in the field of earthquake engineering to preserve the rich history of the development of the field. The events described in these oral histories span many kinds of activities: research, design projects, public policy, broad social aspects, and education, as well as interesting personal aspects of the subjects’ lives.

These reminiscences are a vital contribution to our understanding of where our current state of knowledge came from and how the overall goal of reducing earthquake losses has been advanced. Significant, even revolutionary, changes have occurred in earthquake engineering since individuals first began thinking in modern, scientific ways about how to protect construction and society from earthquakes. The Connections series helps document this important history. The EERI oral history program was initiated by Stanley Scott (1921-2002).
