Scope and Contents

This collection contains documents from the rural school system of Buchanan County, Iowa dating from 1922-1974.

Series 1. “Office of the Superintendent, 1922-1974” is composed of records created by the Office of the Superintendent. This series contains Teachers' Examination Records and Eighth Grade Examination Records. Series 2. “District and School, 1926-1966” contains records documents produced by individual school districts.
