What BYH Records and Memorabilia Are Held in the BYU Archives?

The BYU Laboratory School Records, 1896-1969

This BYU collection includes reports, correspondence, student histories, scrapbooks and memorabilia from the Brigham Young Laboratory School, including both the elementary BYU Training School and secondary Brigham Young High School.

Collection items also involve school administration, school enrollment, school finances, and student life.

Also included are publications of the BY Laboratory School and publications used as part of the curriculum.

According to the collection abstract, the purposes of the BYU Laboratory Schools were to serve as a laboratory for experimentation in new frontiers of elementary and secondary education, and to facilitate the training of student teachers at BYU.

We are posting this information on the BYH website, hoping that BYH alumni and friends will find something on the register that particularly interests them, so you can write a brief historical or feature story to publish here.

We would particularly appreciate help in adding BYH historical details to the decade-by-decade BYH histories on this website:

From 1869 to 1903
From 1903 to 1920
From 1921 to 1930
From 1931 to 1940
From 1941 to 1950
From 1951 to 1960
From 1961 to 1968
Most of the BYH archival collection was processed by James Cloward, Records Processor, under the direction of Hollis Scott, University Archivist. An addendum and reformat of the register was completed in April 2002 by Brian Shull, Student Assistant.

The collection is housed in the L. Tom Perry Special Collections, Harold B. Lee Library, Brigham Young University, Provo, Utah.
