Abstract
Margaret I. Rufsvold came to Indiana University in 1938 to help develop a library science curriculum. In 1947 she was asked to serve as the director of the Division of Library Science, which was then part of the School of Education. In 1966, she was named dean of the newly created Graduate Library School, a position she held for two months before resigning from administrative duties. Rufsvold retired with the title of Professor Emeritus in 1973. The Margaret I. Rufsvold papers consist of correspondence, research files, reports, committee files, teaching files, speeches, Rufsvold's records relating to positions held as a consultant, and publications which document the professional activities of Rufsvold in state and national organizations, as well as in organizations and departments relating to Indiana University. Prominent in the collection are papers relating to her involvement with both Indiana and national library organizations such as the Indiana Library Association, the Indiana School Librarians Association, and the American Library Association. The ALA files are varied, but her work on their Committee on Accreditation and the American Association of School Librarians Committee are most prominent.

Biographical Note

Margaret Irene Rufsvold was born on August 18, 1907, in Calumet, Michigan. She earned an AB in English and a Library Science Diploma in 1929 from University of Wisconsin and an AM in Library Science in 1933 from the George Peabody College Library School. She came to Indiana University in 1938 after holding librarian and library school positions in several institutions. She was very active in professional organizations, served as a member of many commissions, and traveled throughout the world as a consultant and to gather information on library programs.

In 1966, Rufsvold was named the first dean of the Indiana University Graduate Library School (later renamed the School of Library and Information Science). Prior to becoming dean, she had been the Director of the Division of Library Science in the School of Education (the predecessor of the Graduate Library School) since 1947. She resigned from her administrative duties two months later, but continued teaching and was given the title Professor Emeritus in 1973.

Arrangement

The collection is organized into eleven series: Biographical; Graduate Library School; Consultantships; Teaching; School of Education; Indiana library associations; American Library Association; National organizations; Research and grant proposals; Publications; and Speeches and Papers. The Research and grant proposals series is further organized into three sub-series: USOE bibliographic research project; USOE proposals written by Margaret Rufsvold; and Other research by MIR (Margaret Irene Rufsvold).

Scope and Content Note

The Margaret Rufsvold papers document the professional activities of Rufsvold in state and national organizations, as well as in organizations and departments relating to Indiana University. The papers are organized into eleven series: Biographical; Graduate Library School; Consultantships; Teaching; School of Education; Indiana library associations; American Library Association; National Organizations; Research and grant proposals; Publications; and Speeches. The Research and grant proposals series contains three sub-series: USOE bibliographic research project; USOE proposals written by Margaret Rufsvold; and Other research by MIR (Margaret Irene Rufsvold).

The first series is entitled Biographical. This series contains personal information from resumes, clippings, and correspondence. It also includes letters of commendation and honors won. The series span the years 1936-1973.

The next series, Graduate Library School, is arranged alphabetically and contains Rufsvold’s faculty annual reports from 1966-1971, as well as her faculty annual reports from when the Division of Library Science was in the School of Education, 1940-1965. The series spans 1940-1971 and also contains information on committees on which Rufsvold served and conferences she attended.

Consultantships, 1949-1974, is the next series. It is arranged alphabetically and consists of surveys and studies that Rufsvold worked on for other institutions. Among these were several universities: Atlanta University, Kansas State Teachers College, and University of Michigan. She also did work for the USOE (United States Office of Education) and several public and private libraries.

The fourth series, Teaching, spans 1951-1973, and consists of files on courses Rufsvold taught in the library school, guest lectures, and sabbatical proposals. The folders pertaining to the classes she taught are labeled by both class number and class title. There are four files pertaining to guest lectures included in the records. These lecturers are; Slovodan Jovanovic; Anton Schreiegg; Charuvarn Sindusopon; and Zalvorniki-Subotin.

The School of Education series contains administrative files of Rufsvold’s from before DLS became part of the Graduate School and was still in the School of Education. This series contains materials from 1951-1966. The records are mostly concerned with the committees that Rufsvold participated in during this time, most of which were organizational and promotional committees for DLS. The series also includes National Council for Accreditation of Teacher Education (NCATE) evaluation committees.

The next series, Indiana library associations, consists of files on library and school associations in Indiana including the Indiana Library Association, Indiana School Librarians Association, and the Indiana School Library Training Council. Rufsvold participated in all of these associations at one time or another. The records in this series span 1940-1972.

The American Library Association (ALA) series documents Rufsvold's involvement in that organization and the various committees she served on between 1946 and 1972. Notable were her roles as second Vice president of the ALA from 1957-1958, as a member of the Accreditation Committee for several years, and as winner of the 1956 Phi Beta Mu Award, which is awarded annually to a library school faculty member in recognition of distinguished service in library education.

The series of Research and grant proposals consists of different projects worked on by Rufsvold, published and unpublished, and grant proposals written, both funded and not funded. The series is further organized into three sub-series. The first is United States Office of Education (USOE) bibliographic research project dating 1959-1968. The project was intended to study the methods in which teachers received information about new books and materials. This sub-series includes a bound report, several unbound reports, budgets, the original proposal, and correspondence between the persons involved. The next sub-series is USOE proposals written by Margaret Rufsvold. This sub-series includes both funded and unfunded proposals written to the USOE over the years 1966-1973. The last sub-series is entitled Other research by MIR (Margaret Irene Rufsvold). This series includes speeches, reports, and projects that include a World book project and a study of the status of school librarians in Indiana. The last sub-series spans the years 1929-1972.

The Speeches and papers series contains materials from 1933-1977. It is arranged in chronological order and consists of speeches, newsletters, and correspondence about named publications and guides. Included in this series are class notes that Rufsvold wrote for some of her classes.

The next series, Publications, is arranged chronologically. The publications were all written by Rufsvold, though some were co-authored with other scholars. The publications span the period from 1938-1971.
