Description: Scope and content: This is one of a small collection of photographs of the Albuquerque Indian School, which was established in 1881 to provide off-reservation industrial training to the Indians of the Southwest. By 1912, the school had 8 primary grades and over 300 students; by 1925 enrollment increased to over 800 students and grades 11 and 12 were added. The Albuquerque Indian School continued operating until 1982, when its program was transferred to the Santa Fe Indian School. General notes: Between 1881 and 1886, the Albuquerque Indian School was administered by the Presbyterian Home Mission Board. In 1886 the Bureau of Indian Affairs assumed control of the school.
