The contents of this collection are from varying sources. Most of Series 1: Bailey Library Records, with the exception of Sub-Series A: Bailey Library Original Construction Records, were kept by Philip Tramdack at his personal office until his retirement in 2014. Though, not all of the contents of these files were from Tramdack personally. Many files included in this series illustrate Barbara Farah’s time serving as Director of Library Services at Slippery Rock University from 1995 to 2002. The contents of Sub-Series A: Bailey Library Original Construction Records were given to the Slippery Rock University Archives at the time of Philip Tramdack’s retirement, though the contents do not reflect Tramdack’s time serving as Director of Library Services. They do, however, reflect the efforts made by then Chief Librarian, Harold Helmrich, in planning the construction of what is now known as Bailey Library. In addition, Series 3: Maltby Library were contained alongside the files for the original construction of Bailey Library but include correspondence, records, receipts, and other files pertaining to the various construction projects undertaken by the Maltby Library during the early 1960s, before the construction of what is now known as Bailey Library. It is the understanding of the Slippery Rock University Archives that these original construction files from the 1960s were given to Philip Tramdack during his time as Director of Library Services.
