Hear in their own words from professors, administrators and coaches as they tell the story of the rapid and dynamic evolution of UC Davis since World War II.

Over the past 16 years, several hundred retired faculty members have been asked by the UC Davis Emeriti Association to sit in front of a camera and reminisce about the part they played in developing the campus. These conversations focus on creating a major research, university department by department and college by college.

To date, more than 330 individual interviews have been produced by the UC Davis Emeriti Association. About half of those have been organized into 23 documentaries. (The video list on this Web site will grow longer over the summer as we add more documentaries and selected individual oral histories.)
