In this oral history project, students interviewed people affiliated with the Dudley Observatory to get a glimpse of the frustrations and passions in the real lives of scientists, at the same time, preserving the history of the Observatory. Students from the Advanced Placement Chemistry class at Bethlehem Central High School conducted the interviews and wrote reflective essays on what they had learned during the project. Interviewees include Roy E. Anderson, P. Thomas Carroll, Lucy Comly, John Delano, Douglas Hallgren, Harvey Patashnick, William Radigan, Elizabeth Sonneborn, and Sam Wait.
