教育是傳遞文化的工作，學校則是教育的主要場域。學校產生的校史檔案蘊涵了社會文化的活動歷程，若能善加典藏、整理，必能從中發掘許多歷史瑰寶，讓過去的經驗得以傳承。 本研究採用「訪談法」(case study method)做為資料蒐集工具，針對台灣光復以前成立之五十九所中等學校分區進行抽樣調查，訪談對象共計十一所。期盼能藉此瞭解高中校史檔案管理與運用之現況，並且歸納整理其所面臨之問題，試圖提出解決方案，以供校史工作者參考。 研究結果包括：一、校史檔案工作少有專責人員，常被視為額外的工作負擔；二、校史檔案管理缺乏制度化規章；三、校史檔案多運用在展覽、編研與實施校史教育；四、校史檔案管理專業知能不足；五、校史館功能尚待擴充。 最後針對以上研究結果提出七項建議：一、設置高中校史檔案管理專責人員；二、確立校史檔案管理制度化，訂定計畫與工作目標，使管理人員交接時能清楚工作內涵與目標；三、制訂校史館館藏發展政策，提升校史館藏內涵，也能避免過度典藏；四、制訂館藏內容描述之Metadata；五、強化專業人力與管理；六、活化校史室功能；七、積極與外界交流。 / Education is a work of culture transmission and the school is a major place of education. History archives contain the course of social and cultural activities. If school archives can be appropriately kept and organized, we will find more historical treasures, passing down the experiences. “Case study method” is used in the research. There are eleven high schools in different districts which are conducted by a sample survey from fifty-nine high schools established before 1945. This research is done with hope to understand management and application of these archives at these schools, to sum up the faced problems and to propose resolutions for school archives workers. Based on the results of the research, the conclusions are as follows: 1. School archives jobs do not have professional staffs, often regarded as extra work load. 2. School lack institutionalized rules of school archives management. 3. School archives are mostly used for exhibit, research and conducting school history education. 4. School archives management is lack of professional ability. 5. School archives rooms are not fully functional in all schools Finally, with regard to the above mentioned results, seven recommendations are proposed: 1. Set a professional staff responsible for school archives 2. Form a school archives and control system, set a schedule and a goal, and let staff know the contents and objects of the work when taking over from the other staff 3. Form school archives room’s develop policy, enrich contents and avoid excessive collection 4. Form metadata of collection’s description 5. Strengthen professional manpower and management 6.
