The Ayn Rand Archives Oral History Program
The Ayn Rand Archives Oral History Program was established in 1996 by the Ayn Rand Institute (ARI) to gather and preserve knowledge of Ayn Rand’s business, creative, and personal life. To date, Scott McConnell, oral historian, has conducted 169 interviews (about 300 hours) with Miss Rand’s family, friends, and associates. The interviews reveal considerable new information about Ayn Rand’s life, from her early years in Russia, to Hollywood, to her many years in New York City. Selected interview transcripts are currently being prepared for publication.
Facets of Ayn Rand is based on 48 hours of interviews with Mary Ann and Charles Sures, prepared and conducted by Mr. McConnell from September 1998 to January 1999. It is the first publishing project of the Oral History Program.
