Public relations files, 1963/2014

Scope and content:

This series contains historically significant press releases, visual aids, clippings, and other items that record information about the Library that were produced for or by the news media.

Arrangement:

The public relations files are arranged into subseries according to types of materials (e.g. clippings collections and press releases). The subseries are then arranged alphabetically. The files in the subseries are arranged chonologically.

Accruals:

Public relations files are scheduled for permanent retention in the archives. These records are generally created by the University's marketing and communications departments and they are filed in the records groups associated with those units. However, the library does occasionally create its own public relations files that we expect to add to this series.
