I would like to find archives of classroom photographers for the Chgo. Publ.Schools in the 1960's?

Question

During most of the 1960's most Chicago Public schools had one photography company that took classroom pictures. They issued the class photo to all the students inside a cardboard folder that said School Days and it was usually green and white. I can't imagine how to go about finding if there are archives where I can look and a class photo from a particular school in a particular year.

Answer 1

My guess is that archiving these photos was the job of each school's librarian. Just like each school maintains their own set of yearbooks. So start by calling the particular school and go from there. You may then have to work up to the district level and finally to the main public library.
