Telephone Directory collection

 Collection
Identifier: 016.TD

Abstract

The Telephone Directories collection is comprised of copies of the Official Campus Phone Directory for students, faculty, staff and administration and date from 1906 - 2008. They are arranged by type of directory and within those chronologically. The earliest versions of the Student Directories were handwritten. The University stopped publishing a telephone directory in 2008, opting for an electronic directory. With the exception of a missing issue of the Offical Directory for 1914, this is a complete record.
