Background

Scope and content:

These records, dating from 1949 to 1956, were received as part of Robert N. Bush's papers but have been catalogued separately. Due to their large volume, the records were sampled in the following manner. Three separate cases representing different school ages were kept in their entirety: Alameda High School, Alameda, CA (case 60T); MR Trace Elementary School, San Jose, CA (case 79.2T); and Jordan Jr. High School, Palo Alto, CA (case 88T). Summary folders from all remaining cases were kept as well as all general administrative files.
