Arrangement
Processing Note: Utah State University is the repository for the archive of the Utah Education Association's records. When the first UEA records arrived in 1981, they were processed so as to retain the original order used prior to donation. The UEA's records were arranged according to a "file system," that categorized by group and organized material into numerical and alphabetical order. Upon donation some materials within this file system were not received by Special Collections, including Files 5, 7-8, V-VII, and XI-XII.
Immediate Source of Acquisition
The first and largest batch of material that comprise this collection was transferred to USU Special Collections in 1981 by the Utah Education Association. Since 1981 USU Special Collection has continued to receive batches of material from UEA.
