Academic Project: Hollywood Oral History Project

Media Decoder has the details of this USC project, trying to capture as many stories of the old days while they still can:

The new archive is designed to compile interviews with producers, agents, lawyers, executives and journalists who were involved with entertainment in an off-screen sort of way.

I’m a little skeptical of the need for this, as it seems like it may just be a channel for the self-absorbed to self-glorify, but I think it could also be a valyable record for future historians.
