This series consists of three subseries:

Subseries 1, Recorded Interviews, consists of audio recordings of oral history interviews conducted with women who worked in shipyards in Portland, Oregon, and Vancouver, Washington, during World War II. The interviews were conducted by members of the Northwest Women's History Project and were used as part of a slideshow presentation entitled "Good Work Sister." Full or partial transcripts are available for some interviews. The interview recordings and completed transcripts are available online in OHS Digital Collections; incomplete transcripts are available for in-person use at the Oregon Historical Society Research Library.

Subseries 2, Slide Images of Interviewees, consists of photographic slides of some of the women interviewed.

Subseries 3, Files on Potential Interviewees, consists of documents relating to people the Northwest Women's History Project contacted in its work to conduct oral histories with women shipyard workers, including many women who were not ultimately selected for full oral history interviews. These files include brief telephone questionnaires and contact information sheets. Files for women who were selected for full oral history interviews include interview summaries and transcripts of interview excerpts.
