About ASMS

Oral History Project

Oral histories of scientists important to the history of mass spectrometry are being assembled by ASMS in cooperation with the Science History Institute. Most of the interviews for oral histories to-date were conducted by past ASMS Archivist Michael Grayson. The Science History Institute transcribes and emendates the histories and maintains a bound final version.
