Ben Gillespie is the Arlene and Robert Kogod Secretarial Scholar for Oral History at the Archives of American Art.
During the summer of 2020, the Archives of American Art initiated the Pandemic Oral History Project: 85 interviews with artists, teachers, curators, and administrators. The resulting 30 hours of video are "a significant record of an unprecedented time as it unfolded."
