Am I allowed to submit my interview to another repository, such as a local historical society?
Yes. If you are the copyright holder to the material (interviewer or interviewee), you may submit a duplicate copy to another repository such as a local public library or historical society. Keep in mind that the Library of Congress only accepts original materials, and does not accept duplicate copies (such as photocopies or digital scans) of paper material like photographs or letters.
