This subseries contains the production files for the issues of the Library's journal, Columbia Library Columns. The early files contain the illustrations, photographic prints and negatives, included in the issues. Starting in the 1980s, the files also include correspondence with the writers and the publisher, story drafts, issue layouts, etc. There are also folders with general correspondence for the run of the journal as well as subscription information at the end of the subseries. The files are organized by academic year at first, and later by issue. Library Columns was published three times a year: November, February and May. The last issue was printed in May 1994. This subseries also includes a mostly complete run of the Library Columns issues (which have been digitized and are available online). It includes a special edition published for the Columbia University $200 Million Campaign in 1969 and an index of the publication covering from 1951 to 1971.
