Scope and Contents of the Materials
The Grand Forks County School District Histories contain original historical sketches written around 1933. These were probably prepared and submitted at the request of Elroy Schroeder, who was then County Superintendent of Schools.

In addition to histories of the schools themselves, the documents contain township histories focusing on early settlement. There are also histories of churches and of other local organizations.
