The collection is organized into eight series: Administrative Correspondence, Sports, Sports Information, Newsletters, CMU Directories (Miscellaneous), News Releases, Slides, and Miscellaneous. The Administrative Correspondence is divided into two groups: 1949-1958 for correspondence with the office of CMU President Anspach, and 1959-1962, for correspondence with the office of CMU President Foust. The Press Releases are arranged by subject heading. Yellow sheets generally represent Public Service Announcements. Sports publications are arranged in chronological order by sport.
This collection has had large sections of publications removed from it.
Publications series: Directories, Class Schedules, and most of the Bulletins are now cataloged separately from this collection.
Central Michigan University. Information Services, Organizational records collection
Information Services first appeared in the 1946 Central Michigan University Directory under the heading of News Bureau. It was renamed Information Services in the 1955-1956 Directory, later to become Media Relations, and is presently known as Public Relations (1999).
The duties of Information Services were to determine what is newsworthy, whether it is about new programs, campus development, faculty and staff, or unique ideas and personalities.
NOTE: Later information will be found under the name CMU. Public Relations and Marketing. Programs that were begun under the old name continue to be filed under it, so current football programs continue to be a part of this collection.
