Abstract:

Minutes, photographs, reports, correspondence, administrative documents, films, and photographs from the files of Rock County Superintendent of Schools Donald Upson, together with records collected about the activities of his predecessors and the history of Rock County schools. Also included is a set of school histories and architectural drawings and other material about the construction of new schools. Black and white photographs, negatives, and color slides--some identified--include many scenes of classroom activities and student life dating from the 1940s-1960s, and documentary photographs of schools. The photographs are of high quality and coverage of education and student activities is of value beyond its Rock County context. The film depicts school bands and safety patrol marching in parades.
