In 1981 and 1982, Dr. Joseph Gallian
recorded his interviews with several prominent figures in the area of finite
simple group theory. Interviewees include Jonathan L. Alperin, Michael
Aschbacher, Daniel E. Gonrenstein, Robert L. Griess, and Ronald Solomon. Dr.
Gallian also recorded several lectures given by Gorenstein, Solomon, Bill
Kantor, George Glauberman, and Michael O’Nan.
