Like the name indicates, school chronicles contain data about history of the school and village, significant or unusual events in the life of the school, rulings concerning the education, audit of the school staff and general statistics about the students. Newer chronicles are often decorated with photographs of school, teachers and village. School chronicles had to be established during the second half of the 1800s by headmasters, who were responsible for their maintanance. Content was subject to random inspection by the higher school authorities.
