Record consist primarily of subject files, organized into three sections. Section one consists of materials kept by the superintendent relating to meetings of the State Board of Education (1914, 1948-1967) and of the State Board of Education, ex officio Board of Regents (1959-1965). These materials include correspondence of the Board concerning the meetings, agendas, complete texts of some resolutions ummarized in the minutes, and documents mentioned but not reproduced in the minutes. Section two consists of files relating to the five sections of the University of Montana (1895-1959). These are arranged first by college regardless of current name used, and then roughly chronologically within each college. The files include information concerning several disputes between faculty and administration within the colleges. Section three consists of files relating to state educational institutions, including the School for the Deaf and Blind (1893-1963), the State Industrial School at Miles City (1942), the State Orphan's Home at Twin Bridges (1947), and Vocational Rehabilitation (1954-1958). Architectural blueprints of buildings at several state colleges and institutions have been placed in oversize folders. Bylaws (1921) of the Board of Education are in the Miscellany series.
