Museum League: Trips, 1967 - 1973

The collection contains the records of DMFA Director Merrill C. Rueppel, who's tenure at the DMFA was July 1, 1964-30 June 1973. Records include correspondence and subject files. The collection also contains the records of Interim Director John Lunsford, who served in that role from July-December 1973.

The records have been arranged in three series. Series 1, Chronological Correspondence, includes copies of correspondence sent from the Director's office from 1964-1973 and encompasses correspondence signed by Rueppel, Lunsford, and assistants to the Director Carol Robbins and Margaret Anne Cullum. Series 2, Alphabetical Correspondence contains both incoming and outging correspondence from the Director's office. There are alphabetical correspondence files for persons, businesses, organizations, and subjects. If there were three or more pieces of correspondence, an individual folder was created; correspondents with two or fewer letters were grouped in a single-letter folder and are listed in the box list for access. Series 3, Subject files, includes files for annual administrative topics, membership or loans for example; and short-term projects such as strategic planning.
