Miscellaneous Correspondence, 1961-1982
Scope and Contents
The Utah Library Association records (1912-2012) consist largely of minute books and scrapbooks of the organization, along with such miscellaneous material as speeches, membership directories, newsclippings, etc. The minute books cover the period 1912-1975 with an eighteen-year gap between 1940 and 1958, while minutes of the sections of the association are very spotty. The scrapbooks cover the period 1928-1974. After the initial deposit in 1978, a register was prepared covering the materials in the first five boxes. This section is listed as "ULA Records, 1912-1977," in this register. From 1978 to 1988, other materials were added, but only on an occasional basis. Work was begun on an addendum to the first register, but when it became obvious that there was a great amount of material still to be deposited, work stopped and was not resumed until the position of ULA Historian was transferred to the staff of the Marriott Library, Special Collections. In 1988, an attempt was made to systematize collection of records. The resulting materials are listed in the present register. These materials include continuations of records already collected, bringing those sections up to date. They also include the records of subsidiary units which have only come into existence since 1978, such as the various roundtables. In 2009, an addendum was added to the collection consisting of those materials donated in 2008. This addendum includes minutes of the Executive Committee and Board of Directors as well as materials from the various committees, round tables, and sections. Materials in boxes 47-64 are unprocessed and require permission to use from the Manuscripts curator. In 2016, an addendum was added to the collection consisting of materials donated in 2013. These materials include administrative files, financial documents, and minutes from board meetings. These materials are found in boxes 65-83.
