About

The Monblatt Archive is an oral history project that records conversations with people whose lives have intersected with law, politics, philosophy, international affairs, religion, intelligence, and culture, preserving what they say in full and in their own words rather than editing it into a summary or an argument. Some of the people in this archive hold or have held real titles and some don't, but the two groups are treated on equal terms here, since a person without a title has often thought just as seriously about the questions this archive is built around as someone who has spent a career inside them.

Each account exists as its own record, with the audio and a full transcript kept together, and nothing here is arranged to support a conclusion or a thesis beyond the simple premise that these are worth preserving as they were actually told.
