The Correspondence Card Index is an index to the correspondence files of library directors (boxes 149-154). This card file functions as an index to correspondence received from about 1911 to 1985, and is arranged alphabetically. Headings include both proper names and subject terms. The card directs the user to a particular folder title and year.
The Library Financial Materials consists of financial records of the library spanning the years 1904 to 1988, and should be used in conjunction with the other materials in the collection. The financial materials document the growth of the library and the changing allocation of funds within the university library system and reflect the university's changing priorities in the twentieth century.
