MPA Championed Newspaper Preservation
|
|
Members of the Missouri Press Association, recognizing the need to preserve Missouri's heritage of newspapers, established the State Historical Society of Missouri. The Society, a trustee of the state since 1899, holds the largest collection of state newspapers in the nation to this date.

Minnie Organ, the State Historical Society's first paid staff member, was hired as an assistant librarian in 1901. The Society occupied several rooms in Academic Hall (now Jesse Hall) until 1915.
