Interested in doing some in-depth research into the Branson business and entertainment scene at the turn of the century? Trying to remember the name of that finger-licking good restaurant in Licking, Missouri from 20 years ago? What was the name of that beauty salon in Purdy, Missouri?

The MSU Libraries has received a large gift of phone books from Southwest Missouri. Most of the phone books are from the late Nineties and early 2000’s, with an emphasis on yellow pages directories.

An online inventory lists the geographic locations and years. 

The collection is housed in remote storage. To access one or more of these phone books, please ask at the main service desk on the First Level of Duane G. Meyer Library.
