Abstract

The Publications Office serves approximately 150 departments and offices at Salisbury University. The collection consists of printed material produced by the Publications Office for the various offices at Salisbury University between 1940 and 2019, especially from 1974 to 2001.

Administrative History

The Publications Office serves approximately 150 departments and offices at Salisbury University, which generate over 1,200 work requests for printed material annually.

In 1922, the Maryland Legislature established a commission to determine a location for a two-year college to train elementary teachers on the state’s Eastern Shore. A site in Salisbury was selected and the Maryland State Normal School at Salisbury opened in September 1925.

The school’s two-year course of study was increased to three years in 1931 and to four years in 1934. In 1935, the Legislature authorized the college to grant Bachelor of Science degrees. The school was first accredited by the American Association of Teachers Colleges (later the American Association of Colleges for Teacher Education) in 1942 and by the Middle States Association in 1956.

Today, Salisbury University is a nationally accredited, four-year comprehensive university within the University System of Maryland. It offers many distinct undergraduate and graduate degree programs within four endowed schools: the Richard A. Henson School of Science and Technology, the Charles R. and Martha N. Fulton School of Liberal Arts, the Franklin P. Perdue School of Business, and the Samuel W. and Marilyn C. Seidel School of Education and Professional Studies. In 2016, the Honors College was created.

The school’s name has changed several times over the course of its history: Maryland State Normal School (1925-1935), Maryland State Teachers College (1935-1963), Salisbury State College (1963-1988), Salisbury State University (1988-2001), and Salisbury University (2001-present).

Scope and Content Note

The collection consists of printed material produced by the Publications Office for the various offices at Salisbury University between 1940 and 2019, especially from 1974 to 2001. Covered are general Salisbury University papers such as brochures, forms, viewbooks, and more, as well as brochures and papers documenting university events, athletic events and programs, academic departments, and campus resources. Also included in the collection are academic calendars, registration bullets, and SU News. 

In effect, most of the printed materials and ephemera produced at Salisbury University between 1940 and 2019 can be found in this collection.
