To celebrate the Rollin M. Gerstacker Foundation's endowment of the E. N. Brandt Oral History Program, the Chemical Heritage Foundation held a conference on oral history methods and applications on 16 May 2007. The conference focused on oral history of science-based industries and featured talks and discussions on the use of oral history as a learning tool for leadership training; as a means of preserving personal recollections; and as a method for capturing, identifying, and interpreting the heritage, philosophy, and values of a company. The conference also dealt with modern methods for conducting, recording, transcribing, and processing oral history, including innovations in digitization. On a larger scale, the conference explored oral history's ability to provide cross-fertilization among institutions, fields, and the general public.
