This guide is derived from the original container list generated by Berea College as SERIES IV LIBRARY FILE, 1911-1983, BOX 55 – . It follows the PMSS ARCHIVAL BOX HOLDINGS, 1-55 – , which describes the folders microfilmed by Berea College in 1983. In addition to the folders in the original SERIES IV LIBRARY FILE, 1911-1983, in the microfilm project, new material has been added by PMSS and is deposited in the file cabinets in the Office* at PMSS. New material will continue to be added to the various Series in the Office files as it is donated and collected.
The following brief Guide describes, by title, folders held in the Office file cabinets* (not at West Wind) as they were described in the original Berea Library File (BOX 55) microfilmed in 1983 and those files have been mapped to the current files added later by PMSS.
The original Berea SERIES IV LIBRARY FILE, 1911-1983, folder listing was alphabetical but was changed by PMSS to a SERIES LISTING in 1999, to more closely reflect the series listing now used as the bibliographic control of the PMSS Library File Collections. This Guide maps to the COLLECTION INDEX but is more extensive in its inventory as it describes the Berea microfilm project and the PMSS SERIES LISTING.
*UPDATE: As of 2016, the file cabinets containing the PMSS Collection were moved from the PMSS Office to the Library (Boys’ House). This is currently a closed collection and available only by appointment to serious scholars and researchers.
