Biographical / Historical
Urbana Typographical Union No. 747 was founded in Urbana in 1916. Because of declining membership, the executive offices were moved to Bellefontaine in the early 1950's. In 1976, due to small membership and the inability to carry the financial burdens of a union and because too many shops were non-union, the union ceased to operate.

Abstract
The material within the Urbana Typographical Union No. 747 collection is divided into two series dealing with administrative and financial records. The arrangement is chronological within the various folders.
Series I: Administrative deals primarily with membership concerns, with materials dating between 1913 and 1976. Names of those in the union can be located in these books. Correspondence is not too extensive little material on the running of the union (operations procedure) can be gained from this administrative information.
Series II: Financial records are extensive and cover the period from 1916 to 1976. Also included in this series in the Secretary's Record Book are minutes from 1916 to 1949. This is placed in this series because of the financial reports which are included in the book.
