CITY OF FRESNO SCHOOLS PHOTOGRAPHS
The Fresno County Historical Society has been collecting photographs that document the rich history of the central San Joaquin Valley since our founding in 1919. The Photograph Collection is comprised of photographs that were not part of an archives or manuscript collection, or were donated ala carte. The collection includes series which focus on the City of Fresno, Fresno County, General Subjects, Oversized photographs, and the Portrait Collection. Since 2015, the archives staff and volunteers like Sue Loucks have digitized hundreds of photographs for digital preservation and improved access to these archival materials. Stay tuned for more photographs over the next few months.
​
These City of Fresno elementary school photographs include charming class portraits and school buildings. These images are just a small portion of our schools collections. We have another City of Fresno box for the rest of the elementary schools, middle schools and high schools, as well as a box of schools photographs for Fresno County. We also have several archival collections beyond photographs that document the rich history of our local schools.
