Summary
A school register in a cardboard and paper binding with a blue-black material spine. The cover is red with a marbled pattern. A red paper label is pasted to the front. The first three pages are stuck together at the bottom due to water damage. The register contains tables relating to the weekly attendance of boys and girls, quarterly summaries, annual summaries from 1904 to 1907, printed in blue ink. The majority of the tables have been completed in handwritten black ink. There are thirty four pages.
Provenance
Archival records information - "The collection was established as a result of isolated gifts in the 1940's, and the 'savings' of certain school records (now passed to County Records) during wartime paper salvage." "During the 1950s it was L.E.A. practice to hold an Easter Course for teachers, and the County (Derbyshire) Museum arranged a special exhibition for teach course. As by the mid 1950s quite a collection had already accumulated, it was decided to produce an exhibition on the history of education with special reference to Derbyshire. Consequently, further material was purchased, from which items were selected. The exhibition was subsequently shown at a number of centres, and after disbandment, additions continued to be made with the aim of eventually producing a reconstructed classroom as a base for research. The Derby Bishop Lonsdale College of Education has frequently made use of the collection in various ways."
