This collection of documents generally referred to as "press releases" chronicles the activities, events, individuals, and organizations associated with the University of Montana in Missoula (UM). Releases were sent by UM's University Relations office to various media for broadcast and publication. The online collection currently contains releases from 1928 and from 1956-to the present. (Note: UM was named Montana State University from 1935-1965.) Physical copies of all extant releases through 2009 are held by the Mansfield Library’s Archives and Special Collections.
