This collection, arranged numerically by certificate number and indexed internally, alphabetically by the first letter of the applicant’s surname, contains a record of the persons granted teaching certificates by the State Board of Education. Entries for the 1868-1896 volume include the recipient’s name, post office, and county of residence; the date the certificate was issued; the Pennsylvania School Journal volume and page relating to the recipient’s certification; and oftentimes, a description of the subjects studied. The 1897-1908 volume only gives the recipient’s name, post office, and county of residence; the date the certificate was issued; and a list of the subjects studied.
