OWATONNA STATE PUBLIC SCHOOL:

An Inventory of Its Photographs of Students at the Minnesota Historical Society

Government Records

Expand/CollapseOVERVIEW

Creator: Minnesota. State Public School.
Title:Photographs of Students.
Dates:circa 1890-1918.
Language:Materials in English.
Abstract:Photographs of individual students from case files numbers 1-5866. Under each letter of the alphabet is listed the corresponding case file numbers for individuals for which there is a photograph. A few photographs are identified by name but have no case file number; those photographs are in the front of the folder for each corresponding letter of the alphabet and listed in the finding aid. The Index to Residents' Records, also housed at the Minnesota Historical Society, was consulted to try to identify these individuals, but without success, so it is questionable if these are actually photographs of students.
Quantity:27 folders in 1 partial box.
Location: See Detailed Description for shelf locations.

Expand/CollapseSCOPE AND CONTENTS

Also present are three group photographs (undated, 1904; mostly identified), two that show a group of children in front of the Baby Cottage No. 4, and a number of unidentified photographss of individuals, couples, and groups (circa 1885-1918). The latter also include several photographs of campus buildings.
