This series consists of volumes listing the students admitted to the Salem Indian School. The school was also known informally, and later formerly, as the Chemawa Indian School. Information recorded about the students varies from register to register, but can include student number, name, Indian agency, tribe, father's name and occupation, mother's name, if parents are living or dead, blood degree, age, height, physical information, date of arrival at school, time period enrolled for, date withdrawn from the school, and remarks. Some registers include lists of students discharged from the school, students who died while enrolled, and of the students who graduated.
