GSMC Adds 92 New School Files

Between February 18, 1956, and May 27, 1961, every other Saturday the Indianapolis News published a series of full-page photo sketches of Marion County elementary schools. 

The photo below of IPS School 6 is a typical sample. 

During that period the newspaper profiled 92 schools from both 

the Indianapolis Public Schools and the township schools. 

We have extracted these pages and added them to our school files in the Members 1 and 2 sections. 

A full list of these buildings is shown below. Could your family be part of this group?
