You may not charge other people a fee for using ISS cases and no one may make commercial use of any of the materials on this site.

For Scholars

Scholars who wish to use or quote information contained in the oral history archive are governed by the conditions of use and citation requirements that apply to other users. Scholarly users should also make note of two other points. ISS asks practitioners, advisers, and monitors to reflect on aspects of institution building. The interviews are voluntary. The people interviewed have the right to review a transcript of their statements and to limit the release of passages in a variety of ways. If an interviewee has excerpted material, the transcript reflects the change with ellipses and sometimes with a notation. In some instances, although the meaning of the speaker in the interview tape is clear, the verbatim transcript contains repeated words, hesitations, etc., that make the print version harder to follow than the spoken version. With the clearance of the interviewee, program staff members sometimes edit these verbatim remarks to produce prose faithful to the content and word choice of a passage, causing small departures from the audio tape in the interest of smoother written communication. This practice departs from the norms many oral historians hold dear. However, without these changes some speakers will not place their interviews on the record.
