The interviewer compiled the table of contents and interview history and supplied the spellings of proper nouns. Maryatt reviewed the transcript. She verified proper names, made a few corrections and additions, and provided the biographical information.
The transcript of this interview is a verbatim transcript of the audio recording. It was transcribed by a professional transcribing agency using a list of proper names and specialized terminology supplied by the interviewer. The interviewee was then given the opportunity to review the transcript in order to supply the missing or misspelled names and to verify the accuracy of the contents, and those corrections were entered into the text without further editing or review on the part of the Center for Oral History Research (COHR) staff.
In some cases the audio recording may differ slightly from the transcript, either because the transcriptionist did not accurately transcribe what was said or because of the changes the interviewee made at the time of their review.
Records relating to the interview are located in the office of the UCLA Library’s Center for Oral History Research.
