Scope and arrangement
The collection consists primarily of printed material, including several histories of Lincoln School, and incorporation papers for the School and Alumnae Association. Additionally, the School is represented by yearbooks (1931-1961); annual reports (1906-1961 - scattered); the School's newspaper, The Chevron; and an invitation to the first graduation of 1900. Also included are news bulletins and 40th anniversary commemorative journals honoring earlier classes, and materials related to the Lincoln Hospital, such as its charter and by-laws. Of particular interest are photocopies of annual reports for the Society for the Relief of Worthy Indigent Colored Persons from 1840-1842.
