M-595 Bacone College Ephemera

ABSTRACT: Collection of ephemera from Bacone College, 1946-1955.

HISTORY: Bacone College was founded as Indian University in 1880. The campus was moved from Tahlequah to Muskogee, Oklahoma and was officially renamed in 1910. Bacone College was historically governed by the American Baptist Home Mission Societies, but through charters with five tribes–the United Keetoowah Band of Oklahoma Indians, the Osage Nation, the Otoe-Missouria Tribe, the Cheyenne and Arapaho Tribes of Oklahoma, and the Kiowa Tribe–Bacone College is in the process of transforming into a tribal college.

Information on conducting research with the archival collections of the Library, including current building hours and reading room policies, can be found on our Research page. The St. Louis Mercantile Library is located on levels one and two of the Thomas Jefferson Library building on the University of Missouri-St. Louis’ north campus.
