Series 9: Student/Alumni Files, 1911-1976

These files consist of individual file on students and alumni kept by the GSLIS administrative office from 1911-1976. The files contain correspondence and records from periods subsequent, during and prior to enrollment as well as some publications. Much of the correspondence is about the post-graduate careers of Simmons students. The files include material from some of Simmons' earliest graduates, such as Elizabeth Knapp, Laura Bragg, and Theodora Kimball Hubbard. Of interest is the "Students - CIIs" folder (box 39, folder 40), containing a photograph of "CIIs and Specials, 1913-14" in which the students are identified by name, and a small hand-made booklet, a sort of yearbook, entitled "The Sioux-Tea 1920, edited by CIIs, 1920". This booklet includes photographs, class superlatives, a class song, and names, addresses, and jobs of the graduates. [CIIs were special students doing a one year post graduate degree in library science.] Some material in this series is restricted. Please consult the University Archivist for an explanation.

Series 10: Seminars, 1921-1987

The material in this series is from several conferences and summer programs sponsored by GSLIS. The bulk of the material is from summer programs held at the School. There are records from the 1966 National Defense Education Act Institute which studied the skills and materials necessary in working with gifted children. Individual student records (of participating local children) are included, and may be restricted. Please consult the University Archivist about using these records. Also included are materials from summer programs on preservation organized by Professor Josephine Fang from 1978-1980, and by College Archivist and GSLIS Instructor Megan Sniffin-Marinoff in 1987. There are also records from meetings of the Institute for Librarians (1921-24), and a program pamphlet from a 1961 seminar entitled "Planning for Change." That seminar was held at Simmons on behalf of the U.S. Department of State and the A.L.A. It focused on international library issues.
