Student Case Files, 1884–1980

1884-1980

https://catalog.archives.gov/id/592971

This series consists of individual student case files of Indians from throughout the country who attended Haskell, an off-reservation boarding school. The early files (1884 - ca. 1910) typically consist of one page that lists the following information: student name, age, tribe, parent, post office box, date entered, and date dropped. While the content of later files varies from student to student, most files include the student's name, photograph, date of birth, tribal affiliation, degree of Indian blood, home address, and dates of attendance. They may also include applications for enrollment, transcripts of grades, attendance records, class schedules, reports of grades, deportment, and medical or disciplinary problems. Some files include correspondence between school officials and students, parents, and reservation officials.
