A Native American coalition will digitize 20,000 records in an attempt to compile statistics, including how many kids went missing and died.
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.
Partnership leaders said NABS, Swarthmore and Haverford will scan 20,000 pages of enrollment papers, photographs, financial information, correspondence and administrative records this fall. After the scanning, project leaders will hold an information session with tribal communities to discuss the findings. The project will include the production of a video with shared oral histories from boarding school survivors and their families.
“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.”
