This series consists of case files of Indians who attended, but did not graduate from, the Chemawa Indian School, known (until 1939) as the Salem Indian Training School. The files created before 1910 are typically empty or contain only one or two pieces of correspondence. Files created after 1910 typically contain applications for enrollment, transcripts of grades, attendance records, physicians' certificates, and correspondence between students and the school as well as between parents and the school. Some of the files also contain reports of illnesses and injuries, reports of disciplinary infractions, and correspondence between the school and people seeking information about former students.
