Conducting Interviews

The Marine Corps appreciates your interest in the oral history program and your willingness to become involved. Whether you are submitting an interview of an active-duty Marine, a veteran, or embarking on a self-memoir project, there are often questions about what subject matter to cover in the interview, what procedures to follow, and what supporting paperwork is required. We hope to answer those questions here.

Please read all sections of these instructions, even if you are not a first timer, so that you fully understand the requirements for submitting an interview. If you have questions, please contact the Oral History Program for additional information and guidance.

When you have finished the interview and completed the required interview summary and release, send all materials to:
