The historian's duties are "to compile and keep a record of the activities and achievements of the association" as defined in the Parent-Teacher Manual. The books help to understand Eastside Elementary School's daily activities. They are organized monthly for each academic years. Some of them contain up to three academic years.
The Historical Newspaper Collection was donated by the History Department to FAU Libraries. The newspapers cover important historical events such as: World War II; Space; and the assassinations of John F. Kennedy and Robert Kennedy
