Meetings Series, 1903-1991

Scope and content:

The series includes the minutes from national organizational and committee meetings, conference proceedings, reports and recommendations presented at national conventions, as well as a file of clippings and report summaries. Major categories are Annual Meetings, Directors' Meetings, Executive Committee Meetings, Officers' Meetings, and Reports. In addition to the OAAA, the International Congress of Outdoor Advertising and the meetings of the Institute of Outdoor Advertising are also represented in this series. The conference proceedings capture some of the culture and ongoing work of the outdoor advertising profession. Meeting minutes reflect personal experiences with individual case histories of products as well as the professional experiences and pressing concerns of the association membership.

Arranged alphabetically by category. Each category is further subdivided either chronologically or alphabetically. Letter size folders are followed by legal size folders in two runs. Detailed information in the folder listings reflect text that was on original folders.
