[or-roots] graduation information

Fri Jan 11 10:50:09 PST 2013

This sounds like this will be a fun project - and it sounds like there are not the official announcements, so it would be just a listing type of information. And if there are individual pages for each school, the number of pages has to be more than 278 in total.

Denise and Robyn,

The very first page in the folder has a half page note that reads..

April 15, 1930
There are 278 standard high schools reporting 6342 seniors for the school year 1929-30.  Five schools did not report.  It would seem that there are about 283 standard four-year high schools in this state to date.

The reports vary from hand written pages with just a few names on them to typed carbon copies of 10 or more pages.  Some give an address others provide a column labeled "major subject"

I will see if I can get there tomorrow afternoon and scan a few samples.  I always take my flatbed scanner.

To answer Denise and Layne (and Les indirectly)

I work in Portland now, and yes, I would bring a digital camera. Depending on what the information is, and how it is organized, that would have a lot to do with what I would do with it. Ideally, it would be a combination of a searchable list, that had a link
 to the actual announcement, if it is available. For Coos county, I host the ORGenweb site, so putting information on those webpages would be fairly easy (assuming the material could be digitized). I would have no objections to doing a project for the Archives
 by putting the information into a format that could be added to their existing webpages.

So if you are at the archives Denise, if you could scan a few pages so we know what the material is organized like, I'll propose a solution.

Flatbed scanners are permissible, but wand scanners are not allowed because of their potential to damage the records.  We do have a large number of patrons that use digital cameras as Les mentioned.

Regards,

Layne

I think that I will try to scan some Lane County ones on my next trip to the Archives.

And take a good digital camera Robyn so you can just take picture and not spend a fortune on copying, or scan them? 

By the way, are you just interested in the facts or the actual announcement images?

Robyn,

The folder is pretty substantial, more than 100 pages, so it might be best to ask to see it when you come to the Archives. 

regards,

Layne

I would love a copy (or will try to get down to the archives to see them). It would be fun to get all of them online - the address information would be questionable as to relevance, but since the census is public, it would be a good tie in...

Some posts over the Holidays mentioned graduation announcements with listings of the graduates.  I just ran across a large folder in the Superintendent of Public Instruction records which has lists of seniors/graduates for each school in the state for the year 1930. Most lists give the name and address of the student.
