School of Information Science and Policy records, 1926-1986 | WorldCat.org (original) (raw)

Summary:These records document the administrative, curricular, and social activities of the School of Information Science and Policy from its establishment as a one year undergraduate school for librarians in 1926 through its merger with the Rockefeller College of Public Affairs and Policy as a graduate school for information professionals in 1986. The bulk of the records, which consist of correspondence, meeting minutes, memoranda, annual reports, accreditation reports, course outlines, syllabi, bulletins, circulation records and newspaper articles, were created between 1926 and 1966. The majority of the correspondence in the Subject Files Series relates either to Martha Caroline Pritchard (1926-1954) or to the school's relationship with the American Library Association. The records are of particular significance due to the important roles played by Ms. Pritchard and the ALA in shaping the early administrative and curricular history of the School of Information Science and Policy
