Abstrakt: Liz Bryson, Librarian for the Canada-France-Hawaii-T elescope (CFHT), conducted an oral history project for the CFHT astronomical observatory on Hawaii's Mauna Kea. This article explores the processes, costs, experiences, and lessons of this oral history initiative and evaluates its importance to science and astronomy librarianship. The CFHT Oral History Initiative can serve as a model for other science librarians to record the histories of their institutions. [ABSTRACT FROM AUTHOR]
