The timeline

An oral history is valuable because it shows who said what and when. It is not automatically a neutral verdict: participants have different memories, interests and access to documents.

The sequence around the ten-year retrospective matters. The original report came first, the response followed, and commentary expanded only after those two pieces were already circulating in the case of the ten-year retrospective.

Reading events in that order prevents a reaction from being mistaken for the original claim and keeps later speculation from leaking backward into the first report in the case of the ten-year retrospective.

What is confirmed

Where the participants' accounts conflict, the conflict is itself part of the record. A careful archive keeps attribution attached instead of flattening every quotation into a single narrative.
