The collection is divided into two series: Fontbonne Interviews (2006-2025) and Saint Louis University Interviews (2026-present). Three copies of each interview are stored on the library V drive (CBS --> Oral Histories): one identified preservation copy (wav or mov); 1 identified access copy (mp3 or mp4), and one de-identified access copy (mp3). Some interviews include multiple files. Files are divided by collection (in folders) and organized by date.
