University School (University of Michigan) records, 1920-1975 (majority within 1930-1960)

8 linear feet

Demonstration school operated by the University of Michigan School of Education, 1924-1969. Records include annual reports, staff bulletins, publicity, photographs, faculty minutes, building plans, and curriculum material; also records pertaining to the closing of the schools, and a historical file on the founding of the schools including correspondence of Allen S. Whitney.

The records of the University Schools operated by the University of Michigan School of Education document the activities of the schools (elementary and high school), students, parents, alumni as well as the physical facilities of the schools. The records date from 1920 to 1975 although the bulk of the records cover the period from 1930 to 1966. The last vestiges of the schools closed after the 1969/70 academic year, but records relating to the renovation and remodeling of the school buildings are present through 1975.

The records were received in three accessions resulting in the creation of several series. Thus researchers will find some overlap within the various series, particularly the topical files and administrative files. The records are divided into eight series: Topical Files; University Elementary School Files; University High School Files; Administrative Files; Classroom Activities; Photographs; Historical Files; and Renovations and Architectural Drawings.
