Processing Note: The collection was stored for a long time in an off-campus storage facility. In June 2014, the collection was split between the Clarke Historical Library Archives (informational materials, approximately 80 cubic feet) and the CMU Museum (objects) as much as possible.

A large percentage of the collection in the Clarke was withdrawn during processing. 74.5 cubic feet consisting mostly of massive duplication, blank forms, generic correspondence, miscellaneous financial records such as receipts and pay orders that were all well over seven years old, and miscellaneous notes. Approximately four cubic feet of duplicate books or other copyrighted works created by alumni were returned to the office as per their request. Twenty books and about .5 cubic foot of various types of alumni directories, which were not duplicates, were added to the Clarke collection and individually cataloged. One cubic feet of Chippewa yearbooks was retained by the Clarke to replace its Chippewas when they become worn out from use. One cubic feet of three-dimensional objects such as hats, tote bags, pins, and miniature Warriner Hall buildings, was transferred to the CMU Museum to join the rest of the objects there.

Additionally, initially housed with the collection was the Les O. Carlin Collection, 1940, 2014 (scattered), and undated (2 cubic ft. (in 2 boxes, 2 Ov. V., 1 framed object), which was separately processed and cataloged in the Clarke. Some of the materials in this collection initially went to the Museum and were later transferred to the Archives. For more information on this collection see its catalog record and finding aid.

Collection

Posters collection, 1968, 2006, and undated

8 cubic feet (in 41 Oversized folders)

The collection includes posters Central Michigan University events, departments, offices, speakers, workshops, conferences, and other topics.

This is a collection of posters mostly generated by Central Michigan University (CMU)’s Public Relations and Marketing Department. The posters promoted a wide variety of CMU events, departments, offices, speakers, workshops, conferences, etc. The size, color, and composition of the posters vary greatly. The poster designs range from basically enlarged photographs of university buildings, to stark words, to very artistic theatrical posters. Dated posters range 1968-2006, but the majority of the posters are undated. About half of the undated posters have a month and day but no year, for example, “An evening with Muhammad Ali. January 28.”

More than 600 posters are organized into CMU (more than 570) and non-CMU topics (more than 40). Each topic has its own folder. Additional posters have been added periodically so the alphabetical/ numerical order of folder listing is no longer in strict order. For ease of filing, new additions are added to the top of each folder. There are 570 CMU posters and 41 non-CMU posters. In the Folder Listing, the title or Description of the poster, date of poster, and size of poster, in inches, is given. Many posters have multiple dates on them, such as, for example, “Register for Classes, Mon. Dec. 1, 8-5, Tues. Dec. 2, 9-4, Weds…” Any posters that are damaged by rips or holes are also noted.

The collection is ongoing with poster coming from various sources.
