This is an artificial collection compiled from books and pamphlets transferred from the Campbell Resource Center (formerly the School Committee Administration Library). It includes published works about individual Boston Schools, works by students and faculty, and works about the individual for whom the school was named.

The collection is broken down into three series based on the size and format: Pamphlets and small-size publications; Books; and other publications and information. The material is further broken down by school or topic.
