Notre Dame Series, 1941-1980
- Scope and content:
-
The series documents the long relationship between the OAAA and the University of Notre Dame. Beginning in the early 1940s, the outdoor industry sought to establish a school to train young professionals for careers in outdoor advertising. Notre Dame was the site for the first outdoor advertising educational program and the first university to offer a degree in outdoor advertising. The series includes correspondence between OAAA and Notre Dame leading to the establishment of the School of Outdoor Advertising, as well as contribution rolls, program information, and research reports produced at Notre Dame for the outdoor industry.
Arranged alphabetically by topic. Letter size folders are followed by legal size folders in two runs.
