Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The Eliza Blaker Teachers College of Indianapolis Collection contains materials documenting the life and legacy of educator and kindergarten advocate Eliza Blaker, 1892 to 1994. In addition, the collection contains the records of the Teachers College of Indianapolis (TCI)—the school Blaker founded in Indianapolis in 1882—and the Eliza Blaker Club—an organization founded in Blaker’s memory in 1930—along with supporting reference materials on Blaker, TCI, and on other memorials to Blaker, such as the Eliza Blaker Memorial Room at Butler University and the Eliza Blaker School (Indianapolis Public School No. 55). While most of the collection’s materials are from Blaker and TCI, some items have been added by the Department of Special Collections, Rare Books, and University Archives at Butler University to support research. Items of interest include transcripts of many of Blaker’s speeches, Teachers College of Indianapolis administrative correspondence from both Blaker and the school’s successive leader Emma Colbert, Eliza Blaker Club meeting minutes, a set of early-twentieth century Froebel gifts—educational manipulative tools, such as building blocks, created by Friedrich Froebel for use in teaching kindergarteners—used at the Teachers College of Indianapolis.
