New Haven's Public School Records

Five historical societies house their archives at the Ethnic Heritage Center. The Center
is also
home to New Haven's School Records. For some schools the records are fairly
complete,other schools the records are not complete.
Now on microfilm, the records are arranged alphabetically by school. The information is
arranged by school, grade and room number (where possible). In some periods the
students are listed by country of origin, parent's names and occupations.
To view the New Haven School Records please call for an appointment
