This collection is a subgroup (Board) of the Montana Department of Revenue records, RS 504. In 1973, the Liquor Control Board's responsibilities were transferred to the Liquor Control Division within DOR, and this later became the Alcoholic Beverage Control Division. Please see the primary finding aid for more Montana Department of Revenue records.

These records consist of interoffice correspondence (1938-1960) concerned primarily with the day-to-day operations of the MLC Board with its attorneys, board members, examiners, and other functionaries; general correspondence (1933-1960) arranged alphabetically by correspondent and subject, dealing with MLCB transactions with federal and state government agencies, state liquor store vendors, and the general public; case files (1933-1944) which focus in large part on those court cases which determined the board's regulatory powers and the limits on those powers; legal documents (1938); printed material (1940); reports (c.1950-1962); subject files (1934-1956), including a sampled file, "Thompson's Place, Gold Creek, Powell County," representative of the licensing process; and miscellany (1933-1959). Artifacts, maps, photographs, and printed materials have been transferred to the Museum, Library Map Collection, Photo Archives, and Library respectively.
