The University High School Oral History Project has been designed to provide the necessary basic historical research and guidelines for a continuing oral history project based at the University High School. The Project will have minimum supervision and volunteer involvement. The University High School Alumni Association plans to support this Project as a continuing activity. The Project will rely on volunteer interviewers and the research in this study has been designed to provide the basic knowledge required to conduct an informed interview. This Project is a school based activity that draws its research material from school history publications, school literature and school archival material. The completed interview tapes can be used as a source of raw data. Section one introduces oral history. This is followed by an introduction to secondary education history and then the school sourced history of the University High School 1910- 1985. Guidelines are provided for interview procedure and the processing of the completed audio tapes for inclusion in the University High School Library Archives. An edited interview is presented which was taped during the research for this Project. The interview provides specific information which is verified and incorporated in a history of the provision and naming of the Matthew Stanton Sharman Hall.
