Historical Note
This Delaware Oral History project was initiated in the University of Delaware History Department
and conducted between 1966 and 1978. The project planners initially sought to document the lives of veteran
Delaware politicians, but quickly expanded the range of interviewees to include immigrants, professors,
agricultural workers, Delawareans during the Great Depression, journalists, University of Delaware Junior
Year Abroad program participants, and others. The project was suggested to Dr. John Munroe by University
of Delaware alumnus and Wilmington lawyer Robert H. Richards, Jr., and Richards's annual financial
contributions to the project sustained its work.
Long-time History Department chairman Dr. John Munroe hired interviewers for the project who were
paid a minimal fee from the project's funds. Most interviewers were teachers who had completed master's
degrees at the University of Delaware. When possible, Munroe assigned interviewers to interview individuals
with similar backgrounds (ethnic, religious, and career) knowing that such interviewers would, "have a
special understanding of their subjects' careers." Some of the most frequent interviewers and their focuses
include Myron Lazarus (Jewish community), Francis J. Fierro (Italian immigrants), George Vapaa
(agriculture), Steve Schoenherr (German immigrants), and Rebecca Button (University and other topics).
No standard list of interview questions was used for the interviews and, after Dr. Munroe suggested a
preliminary line of questioning, interviewers were given great liberty to direct the conversations as they saw
fit.
In addition to the funding provided by Richards and guidance offered by Munroe, the project was also
supported at various times by University President John A. Perkins, Director of Libraries Dr. John M.
Dawson, and Munroe's successor as History Department chairman, Dr. Willard Fletcher.

Scope and Content Note
The Delaware Oral History collection was a project of the University of Delaware History Department
which was conducted between 1966 and 1978. Two hundred and fifty-two tapes were produced, and 212 of
these were transcribed. Contracted interviewers, several of whom had obtained masters degrees in history,
interviewed a variety of Delawareans, with a particular focus on documenting the following subjects:
educators, immigrants, journalism, politics, and the University of Delaware, Delaware in the Depression,
and the 1950s relocation of Long Island and New Jersey potato farmers to Delaware. The oral history project
was coordinated by Dr. John Munroe (and later Dr. Willard Fletcher) with annual funding supplied by Robert
H. Richards, Jr.
This finding aid includes an alphabetical index of interviewees with brief occupational or subject notes,
date of interview, interviewer's name, and whether or not a transcript exists.
Eight of the oral histories have been transcribed but the original tape is no longer available; these
missing tapes are noted in the contents list below.
