The Chemawa Indian School research collection consists of original and photocopied records about the Chemawa Indian School, primarily compiled by SuAnn M. Reddick in the course of researching the history of the school. The majority of these records are found in Series I, Research and correspondence. The records primarily pertain to the identities of students at Chemawa, and many were copied from other archival repositories such as the National Archives and Records Administration (NARA), the Oregon Historical Society, the Oregon State Library, and from personal collections. Most were collected during a project identifying those people buried in the Chemawa Cemetery. Series I also includes correspondence and Reddick’s research notes and preliminary findings from the cemetery project. Series II, Publications, consists mainly of materials published by the Chemawa Indian School, as well as other publications Reddick collected in the course of her research. The series also includes some of Reddick’s published historical writings about Chemawa. Series III, Audiovisual materials and memorabilia, is predominantly photographs of Chemawa students. The majority of the photographs are from the 1960s, and there are photographs from as early as the 1910s and as late as the 1980s. This series also includes some letter jacket patches, and interviews with Don Pigsley on audiocassette. Series IV, Chemawa Indian School Alumni Association, contains materials pertaining to Alumni Association activities, including reunions, primarily from the 1980s.
