Donald A. Schmechel Jackson Oral History Project

In 1985, Seattle-based attorney, and Jackson political supporter, Donald A. Schmechel undertook to interview over 100 of Jackson's friends, family members, and associates. Those interviewed included U.S. Senators, Washington State political leaders, public officials, former Jackson aides, members of the Jackson family, and political supporters. Lazlo Pal, a documentary film maker who had worked on Jackson's campaigns, conducted some of the interviews. The Schmechel collection of Oral History Interviews About Henry M. Jackson (accession 4056-003), which includes summaries and partial transcripts, as well as audio and video recordings, was transferred to the University of Washington Libraries in 1996.

A detailed Guide to the Schmecher Oral History Collection is available in Special Collections.

Interviews with the following individuals are open for research.
