Documents of note include a technical drawing of the McPherson Library main floor (1963), recommendations concerning the campus Master Plan (1972), and photographs documenting the construction and extension of the Library.

The University community is invited to view this display between 8:30 a.m. and 4:30 p.m., Mondays through Fridays in the Archives and Special Collections Reading Room of the McPherson Library.
