Overview

Annual Reports contain information gathered by administration from all departments of the library that has been analyzed and compiled into one easy-to-read document. Some of the folders also contain the research and notes associated with the report. There is a gap without any reports from 1934-1945 and again from 1996-2007. Some of the documents have written numbers at the top of the page. These were used previously to indicate the location of the document within a folder. More recent annual reports are located on the library S-drive. There are no restricted files.
