Series VI: Library, 1913 - 1997
Scope and Contents
The Library series contains books, pamphlets, draft and final reports, and brochures that were part of the Journal Herald and Dayton Daily News working library. Some books on local topics of high interest, such as the Miami Conservancy District and the 1913 Flood, are cataloged separately and available in the reading room. These items have a note in the catalog record indicating their provenance with the Dayton Daily News Archive. The library series is divided into 29 subseries reflecting the alpha numeric filing system used by the Journal Herald and DDN in series F and series I. Topics include local government and politics, transportation, urban development, environmental issues, population, education, and aviation. The bulk of the materials date from the 1960s and 1970s. While there are many topics covered, few are represented in detail.
