RESEARCH INFORMATION
Please note that all research conducted within the Haskell Cultural Center and Museum Archives consists of those resources held within the physical collections of the Haskell Cultural Center and Museum. These collections include, but are not limited to, school newspapers, annuals, student and staff directories, photographs, and other materials printed at Haskell Institute, Haskell Indian Junior College, and Haskell Indian Nations University.
Information regarding these items and their use can be obtained by contacting us directly using the "Contact" link at the top of this page or by emailing us at hinuccm@gmail.com.
Requests for information regarding individuals who attended Haskell need to be directed to the National Archives and Records Administration in Kansas City, Missouri. Contact information and instructions for making a research request to the National Archives is given below.
REQUESTING HASKELL STUDENT FILES

THE INDIAN LEADER ARCHIVE
The Indian Leader Archive is the result of a collaboration between Dr. Stephen Egbert of the University of Kansas and Travis Campbell of the Haskell Cultural Center and Museum.
The goal of this project was to ensure the availability of this valuable resource to students and researchers around the world while limiting handling of the fragile original copies of the newspapers and annuals and overcoming access issues encountered with the microfilm copies in the possession of the Haskell Cultural Center and Museum's archives.
Electronic copies were made of these microfilm rolls that were produced by the Kansas Historical Society in the early 1990s and 2000. These are presented here in PDF format.
Special thanks to The Indian Leader, Scanning America, University of Kansas Libraries, and Tommaney Library at Haskell Indian Nations University.
