While there may be some individuals out there who know precisely what diplomatic personnel do during their time overseas, most people are unfamiliar with diplomatic duties. This intriguing and enlightening online exhibit provides a great deal of insight into that very subject, as it presents a number of oral histories from the archives of the Association for Diplomatic Studies and Training. Working together with the Library of Congress American Memory Project, this collection allows users to browse through some of the many interviews conducted with former diplomatic officials over the past seven decades. Visitors may also wish to read the delightful essay “The Interview Process”, written by Charles Stuart Kennedy, who serves as the director of the Foreign Affairs Oral History Program.
