In response to several recent comments about the Thomas Indian School,
I will note that the New York State Archives does hold the surviving
administrative and student records of the Thomas Indian School, which
operated on the Cattaraugus Reservation until 1957.

A list of Thomas Indian School records  in the Archives is available in the
Archives' (updated) summary guide, at the following URL:

http://www.sara.nysed.gov/pubs/guideabs.htm

Narrative descriptions of records of the school are available in the
Archives on-line catalog, at:

http://www.sara.nysed.gov/holding/opac.htm

The Archives will disclose directory type information on students at the
Thomas Indian School, but the student files themselves are restricted to
protect personal privacy.
