Scope and Content: The Providence School Department records consist primarily of meeting minutes of the Providence School Committee (1828-1965), resolutions of the Providence School Board/Committee (1965-2001), reports and manuals (1861-1961) and various images (1907-1923) including lantern slides (1800-1870). <br />The minutes of the Providence School Board include resolutions adopted by the board and are contained within the minutes during the 1960’s and 1970’s. Later on, a sub-series was created called Adopted Resolutions. Another sub-series also emerges called “Resolutions” which are resolutions arranged numerically. These resolutions can also appear within the minutes. Generally there is some duplication between the different sub-series. Generally all records are arranged by school or calendar year. Most of the records from the 1970’s need preservation photocopying.<br />Lantern slides were used for the publication of the ‘Report of the School Committee, for the year 1899-1900: Centennial Celebration of the Establishment of the Public Schools” in the City of Providence. Printed by Snow and Farnham, City printers, 63 Washington Street, Providence, 1901.<br />Original brown kraft wrapper labeled “School Centennial Lantern Slides.”<br />Some of the slides are cracked. #29 and #30 have multiple cracks and are unstable. A portion are reproductions of the Providence Town Papers and are transcribed in the school committee report of 1899-1900.
