Consisting of items originally stored in the Bursar’s Office vault in Carrington Hall, the Board of Governors Historical Materials (RG 2) provides 49 cubic feet of insights into the history of Missouri State University from 1905 to 1995. Property abstracts and financial records make up the majority of the collection, but it contains other material as well.  Notable items include daily activity reports for the construction of Meyer Library in 1979-1980, records of early debate societies (such as the Bentonian and Carrington Literary Societies and the Debating Club), early theater on campus (the Dramatic Club), and former president Roy Ellis’ certificates and diplomas. Additionally, volumes one and two of the Minutes of the Board of Regents from 1913-1965 have been digitized and are available online.
