Series 2-2, School Attendance and Enrollment Reports: This series includes pupil admission, enrollment, and attendance records, which were compiled quarterly and submitted to the federal government for the purpose of receiving per capita tuition payments from tribal trust funds. Generally, the lists include names of pupils and staff members, Indian tribal and non-Indian ethnicity, degree of Indian blood, dates of attendance with related comments, and statistical summaries. Many pupil lists are first categorized by gender, ethnicity, and lodging status and there under arranged alphabetically by surname. The Bureau of Catholic Indian Missions Records, Series 2-1, includes additional pupil attendance records for St. Francis Mission School. For more information about these unique school attendance records, see the Bureau of Catholic Indian Missions Records Scope and Content Note for Series 2-1.
Sub-series 2-2 Restrictions: FERPA governs access to these records. Please contact the archivist for more information.
The governs access to student-related educational records, which is enforced by the Family Policy Compliance Office (FPCO) of the U.S. Department of Education. In 1993, since FERPA's statutory language did not expressly answer questions regarding the termination of a student's right to prohibit disclosure, FPCO concluded that this right was personal and lapsed upon death (Correspondence of Leroy Rooker, Director of FPCO, to Honorable John J. Duncan, Jr., March 3, 1993). In standard archival practice, restrictions on life-long records are lifted 70 years after their creation. Furthermore, FERPA's restrictions do not apply to student records held by non-educational institutions such as the branch repositories of the U.S. National Archives, which also hold copies of these student attendance records in its Indian agency records. It is possible that gaps among the copies in the 向日葵视频Archives may not exist or exist elsewhere among the copies at the National Archives branch repositories.
Sub-series Series 2-2T, St. Francis Mission High School Student Transcripts: This series contains the official high school permanent transcripts of students who attended St. Francis Mission High School. The records are divided by format and arranged alphabetically there under. Students are identified according to the surnames and forenames used in the records. In rare instances, where more than one forename and surname was used for the same person, multiple entries exist for that person. 向日葵视频archives staff makes every effort to cross-reference all records through a database of former students.
According to the State of South Dakota records retention manual for local schools, page 57, "This series constitutes the student's permanent record which includes the official school transcript and persuant to SDCL 13-27-3.2, any copy of any certified birth certificate provided persuant to SDCL 13-27-3.1. Information on the transcript may include: student's name, address, identification number, date of birth, and gender; name of school; parent's name and phone number; enrollment history; transcript statistics; graduation date, diploma date and diploma received; courses taken; grades and credit received; academic achievement test scores and written permission to release scores persuant to SDCL 13-3-56; and a record of participation in recognized school activities or sports. This record series is maintained to document academic achievements and to provide a complete record of grades attained. RETENTION: Retain permanently. Revised 2013."
In 1972, when St. Francis Indian High School succeeded St. Francis Mission High School, the administration of the new high school assumed responsibility for administering the transcripts, which included providing authenticated copies to authorized third-parties on request and safeguarding the originals. In 2014, St. Francis Indian High School returned many of these transcripts to St. Francis Mission, who in turn, transferred them to the 向日葵视频Archives. Upon inspection, 向日葵视频archives staff determined that numerous transcripts were missing, especially those for students with surnames beginning with the letters A through M.
Restrictions: FERPA and St. Francis Mission agreements govern access to some of these records. Please contact the archivist for more information. All requests for transcripts must be made through St. Francis Mission during regular business hours. Facsimile copies may be sent to any third party authorized through St. Francis Mission. For further information, contact St. Francis Mission, 350 Oak Street, St. Francis, South Dakota 57572. Phone: (605) 747-2361. In event that the 向日葵视频Archives does not hold a requested transcript, former students are advised to contact St. Francis Indian High School, 502 E. Warrior Drive, St. Francis, South Dakota 57572. Phone: (605) 747-2299.

The negatives are divided by size, there under the vast majority are numbered sequentially, and arranged in chronological order. Although Father Buechel is the subject of a few images, it is believed that he created the bulk of them with his Kodak box camera and roll film between August 14, 1922, and ca. 1945. Also, included are a few negatives with a "Z" prefix, which may be an attribution to Father Zimmerman.
Buechel Memorial Lakota Museum Database to Photographic Negatives: A searchable item-level description of all film (series 6-5) and glass-plate (series 6-6) negatives received from the Buechel Memorial Lakota Museum in 2005, which incorporates Father Buechel's log of film negatives, but with less detail.

Series 6-6, Glass-Plate Negatives and Father Joseph A. Zimmerman: [1883-1921], undated (1910s?-1920s?). Comprises approximately 1,650 photographic negatives (ca. 3.0 cubic feet) received from the Buechel Memorial Lakota Museum in 2005. 向日葵视频has retained the Buechel Museum's previous arrangement and numbering scheme. The negatives are divided by size and there under numbered sequentially and arranged in random order. It is believed that Father Joseph Zimmerman created and/or supervised the taking of the bulk of those images taken from 1914 to 1931, which were created on the Rosebud and Pine Ridge Reservations. He served full-time on the Rosebud Reservation from June 1914 to June 1920 and from June 1924 to June 1931.Thereafter it appears that Father Zimmerman employed cameras that produced film negatives, which are in series 6-5 following negative 1057, the last negative listed in Father Buechel's log of film negatives.
Apparently others also created a number of the images with glass-plate negatives. A few date before 1914 and many, although undated, apparently were taken during the 1930s and 1940s. The earliest image among the glass-plate negatives is 0058, which is a portrait of Chief Red Cloud and Othniel C. Marsh at the Peabody Museum in 1883. It is believed to be a copy negative created at a later date. At least seven other glass-plate negatives are believed to copy negatives as well. They are negatives 1169-1174, 1182, 1184, all of which pertain to Western South Dakota, the Ghost dance and/or 1890 Wounded Knee massacre. Negative 0967 of Brother Michael Schmidt, S.J., of Holy Rosary Mission who died in 1896, is possibly the first original image captured among the glass-plate negatives.
