Scope and Content Note

Series Descriptions:

Series 1. - C:0/49/4 (A86-54; A21-51)
This Series contains copies of the University of Missouri Studies: A Quarterly of Research, (1926-1980). The chief function of the publication was to publish the results of original research by faculty members and graduate students that were not included in the general bulletin series. A Board of Editors, with the aid of the Dean of the Graduate Faculty, selected the material to be published. The Director of University Publications was in charge of printing, which in the early years, was usually done at Stephens Publishing Company. Until Volume XXVI, No. 4 in 1954, there were four issues intended to be produced per year, each usually dealing with a different topic - however, based on circumstantial evidence of collected volumes, Volume XXIII seems to consist of only No. 1 and Volume XXIV of only Nos. 1-3. Beginning with Volume XXVII in 1955, each volume of the Studies consisted of a single issue. There were no publications in 1958. The last volume in the series was LXIX in 1980.
(6 c.f., 115242, 115243, 115244, UMLD1, 027412, 027414)
Note to Researcher: Beginning in 1959, the University of Missouri Studies publications were also identified as University of Missouri Press publications. After 1980, the University of Missouri Studies, series ceased and was subsumed by University Press publications. For a collection of University Press Books, see
Record Group 4 UW, Sub-Group 72, Series 1. For a list of books published by the University Press, see Record Group 4 UW, Sub-Group 72, Series 2. For University Press Catalogs, see UW:5/3/3.

Note to Researcher: Starting in the fall of 2007, University Archives began using Heritrix software to capture MU web pages. Please contact a member of the University Archives staff for access to the web crawls.
Note to Archivist: These records have been assigned to Record Group 0 (University General) and Sub-Group 49 (Printed and Duplicated) to accommodate the breadth and the "publication" aspect of the web pages.

Series 7. - C:0/49/12 (A20-79)

Note to Archivist: The material in Series 7 was transferred from Special Collections in Ellis Library starting in 2021. It formed the majority of that department's Spec-MU or Spec-M Collection. Due to the extent of the materials, they were retained as a single collection rather than dispersed into existing collections in other Record Groups and Sub-Groups.
Note to Researcher: The entirety of the Spec-MU/Spec-M Collection was not transferred to University Archives. Those items where determining duplication between University Archives' holdings and Spec-MU/Spec-M was straightforward and unambiguous were not transferred. In addition, MU faculty-authored publications not published through the University of Missouri were generally not transferred.

Restrictions Note: The Archives of the University of Missouri-Columbia is required by law and Board of Curator's policy to restrict access to some files and information. Student records are held as confidential under the Federal Educational Rights and Privacy Act of 1974 and by University policy. Faculty promotion and tenure records and Academic Personnel files are restricted for 75 years, or the lifetime of the individual. All grievance, disciplinary, and medical records are treated as confidential files. Consultations with legal counsel, both in-house and external, are protected by the attorney/client privilege and will not be released.
