Over twenty interviews were conducted for the SEEK History Project. The majority of the interviews were conducted by Obden Mondesir, who served as a Non-Teaching Adjunct in Special Collections and Archives from 2019-2021. The interviews were initially conducted in person with a hand-held audio recorder. After the start of the COVID-19 pandemic, interviews were conducted remotely using Google Voice or Zoom. Digital files are preserved as part of Queens Memory, a local history initiative jointly sponsored by the Queens Public Library and Queens College. See below for the full list of interviews (in alpha order by first name) with links to media files and transcripts online. The interviews initially focused on significant figures in the early years of the SEEK program. Recently employed staff and faculty (circa 2020-2021) were also interviewed, especially in regard to their experience during the COVID-19 pandemic.
