Searching for a Loved One’s Boarding School History? Explore the National Indian Boarding School Digital Archive (NIBSDA) to Uncover Their Story.
The NABS Digital Archives team has made significant strides to expand the National Indian Boarding School Digital Archive by preserving and providing access to vital boarding school records. As a national digital platform and repository, NIBSDA is committed to truth-telling and ensuring survivors and descendants have the resources they need to understand this history and its lasting impact on Tribal Nations.
What Does NIBSDA Do?
It serves as a presentation platform for the records and collections that NABS digitizes from a variety of national repositories who have boarding school relevant material.
5 week-long site visits conducted in Q1 of 2025 to the National Archives at Seattle, Riverside, Fort Worth, and Chicago. Materials digitized include Albuquerque Indian School, Fort Bidwell Indian Training School, Pawnee Boarding and Training School, Seneca Indian Boarding School, and many others.
Digitized 80,000 pages of records, which are now in the process of being cataloged for inclusion in NIBSDA.
Created approximately 900 catalog records in Q1.
Enhanced access to records for survivors and descendants byassisting with community requests for support in locating relatives boarding school records.
Revised archival practices to honor our commitment to data sovereignty and strengthen partnerships with Tribal communities. This includes updating our collections management policy and cataloging conventions guidelines.
By exploring the NIBSDA, individuals and communities can engage with historical records that shed light on the past while fostering healing and cultural sovereignty.
As we continue this important work, we invite you to explore the archive, share our mission, and join us in advocating for truth, justice, and healing for Indian boarding school survivors.
For any inquiries about the digital archives, please don’t hesitate to contact us at history@nabshc.org.

We conclude this series & continue the conversation by naming that adoption is genocide. This naming refers to the process of genocide that breaks kinship ties through adoption & other forms of family separation & policing 🧵#NAAM2022#AdoptionIsTraumaAND#AdopteeTwitter#FFY 1/6 pic.twitter.com/46v0mWISZ1
As the single largest unregulated industry in the United States, adoption is viewed as a benevolent action that results in the formation of “forever families.” The truth is that it is a very lucrative business with a known sales pitch. With profits last estimated at over $1.44 billion dollars a year, mothers who consider adoption for their babies need to be very aware that all of this promotion clouds the facts and only though independent research can they get an accurate account of what life might be like for both them and their child after signing the adoption paperwork.
