The National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition says it will digitize 20,000 archival pages related to Quaker-operated Indian boarding schools.
In this photo taken between 1869 and 1895, provided by the Quaker and Special Collections at Haverford College, school children of the Seneca, Shawnee, and Wyandotte Mission Indian Territory, gather for a portrait in Wyandotte, Okla. This image is one of 20,000 archival pages related to boarding schools for Native youths operated by the Quakers that will be digitized by the National Native American Boarding School Healing Coalition.
The records will provide a better understanding of the conditions that children experienced at these schools, and help the compilation of statistics, including how many children went missing and died, said Stephen Curley, director of digital archives for NABS. The initiative is funded by a grant of more than $124,000 from the National Historic Publications and Records Commission. It was awarded to NABS to work with Friends Historical Library of Swarthmore College and Quaker & Special Collections at Haverford College, both near Philadelphia.
The records from Swarthmore and Haverford range from 1852 to 1945, according to project organizers. They include at least nine Quaker-operated Indian boarding schools in Indiana, Kansas, Nebraska, New York, Ohio, Oklahoma and Pennsylvania. “So it’s really important to get to those documents," she said."But it also means that those documents are not necessarily telling you, if you read them at face value, the stories of the communities… people may need to read against the grain … to really get at the stories of the children.”
