The MP3 Sound recordings are good, the two partial transcripts (1A and 1B are partial and poor), but several interesting segments were transcribed in 2018; no transcripts for the other interviews. (The video files seem to be useless.) The photo used here is from the 2009 Portrait Project by Becky Buyers-Basso (2013.238.1933) not these 2017 interviews.)The two partial transcripts (1A and 1B are partial and poor - "voice transcription" apparently did not work well), no transcripts were found for the other interviews. See NAS/Video/2017interviews. (Note: photo used here is from the 2009 Portrait Project by Becky Buyers-Basso, not this 2017 interview.)The video files seem to be useless – the camera was running on a table aimed at Gaile’s knees. Needs transcripts.
