@MikeKoncewicz Thanks! (said on behalf of the more data- and design- savvy folks who really made it possible)

[Evan D. McCormick @EvanDMcCormick]

I'm not exaggerating when I say the Obama oral history website will be a game-changer for how people interact with, learn and teach from oral histories (esp policy ones). Go spend some time today exploring and see what I mean.

Last last thing is that this still just represents <10% of all the interviews we did over the last 5 years. So: always more to come. For now cheers to team at @INCITE_Columbia for bringing this very big thing to life.

[Evan D. McCormick @EvanDMcCormick]

One hope is that all these interactive features make the website attractive as a teaching tool. So, if you've got healthcare reform on the syllabus this spring or are thinking about it for the fall, consider the site! And reach out with any questions/feedback.

Attn: political, policy, health care historians (among others). After years of hard work, such a thrill to see more of the Obama Oral History interviews go public. Couldn't be prouder of my team @INCITE_Columbia!

Tomorrow is the 14th anniversary of the Affordable Care Act.

This morning, we released 26 new Obama Presidency Oral History interviews that together tell the story of the ACA, which changed the lives of tens of millions of Americans.

@JonAskonas @ClementsCenter Thanks Jon!

@RobertPee2 Thanks Rob! I can say with certainty there will be lots of good material on things you (and others) are interested in when we get to the foreign policy interviews.

I'm quoted in this @peterbakernyt piece about today's launch of the Obama Presidency Oral History and the first tranche of interviews on environmental politics and climate

[Peter Baker @peterbakernyt]

The first comprehensive oral history of the Obama presidency by ⁦@INCITE_Columbia⁩ ⁦⁩offers a look back at a different era and the trade offs he made. https://t.co/KzKBEIOD0M

[Evan D. McCormick @EvanDMcCormick]

just imagine how I feel about eventually getting to the global/foreign policy material! (Only one of my 90 interviews is in today's release, but it's a doozy -- a long session with Todd Stern on the full arc of int'l climate diplomacy from Copenhagen to Paris.)
