Museum of Vision

Between 1986 and 1998, the Museum of Vision teamed up with the Regional Oral History Office, University of California at Berkeley to record the Ophthalmology Oral History Series, A Link with our Past.

This series consisted of 8 oral histories published as separate books and one volume of 11 interviews published under the title, Oral History Recollections of Past and Present Leaders.  The Museum of Vision is indebted to Sally Smith Hughes, PhD of UC Berkeley who conducted these oral history interviews.
