Kernighan, Brian W.Taylor, Molly2025-08-062025-08-062025-04-10https://theses-dissertations.princeton.edu/handle/88435/dsp01rv042x522Oral history collections often contain hundreds—if not thousands—of lengthy interviews. How can computational tools help researchers explore and analyze oral history collections? I apply two topic modeling techniques, BERTopic and Latent Dirichlet Allocation, to address research questions about the Densho Digital Repository, which documents Japanese American incarceration during World War II. I demonstrate how these tools can illuminate connections between ideas, facilitate comparison of interviews, and offer new ways to navigate the collection.en-USPrinceton University Senior Theses
