II. Historical note

As Barry approached its 40th anniversary it was appropriate that materials necessary for a history of the college were located and evaluated.  Among the more valuable research resources for that project were past students, faculty, staff and “friends” of the college. On Founders’ Day, November 1979, the Barry History Project oral anecdotal collection was officially announced. Sisters began the process of taping conversations with members of the Barry community who had been with the college for more than ten years.

For the coming Golden Anniversary of Barry, the purpose of the Oral History Project was (1) to provide a living history of persons who have been associated with Barry University since its founding in 1940; and (2) to research written materials available on campus or in Adrian Motherhouse Archives about the founders, administration, faculty, staff and students for whom there was no oral history. Those tapes were to assist in the writing of the history of Barry.

 

III. The Collection

The collection consists of over one hundred and forty oral histories primarily of members of the Barry community, which include faculty, staff, students, alumni, and friends of the university. The interviews capture unique personal perspectives about the founding, development, and growth of the university.

The collection also includes materials related to the planning of the project and research resources on oral history projects.
