Historical NoteReturn to Top
The Montana State Board of Pharmacy was established in 1895 to regulate the practice of pharmacy and to license pharmacists. The Board members were appointed by the Governor on the recommendation of the Montana State Pharmaceutical Association. In 1972, the Board was renamed the Montana Board of Pharmacists. The Board of Pharmacy (its current name) operates within the Professional and Occupational Licensing Bureau, which falls under the Employment Standards Division of DLI. In addition to ensuring that pharmacists are licensed and practicing within the law, the Board is also in charge of governing the Montana Prescription Drug Registry, established by the Montana Legislature in 2011.

28:7-4; Volumes: 120:4-6Processing Note
In 2024, the various collections of the Montana Department of Labor and Industry were integrated under one collection identifier, RS 498, in order to help facilitate access, reduce redundancy in the Montana Historical Society Library & Archives catalog, and to follow best archival practices.
Collections from Montana Department of Labor and Industry's various Divisions and Bureaus that were previously treated as separate entities are now integrated into this collection, RS 498. Rather than reprocessing over 20 linear feet of DLI materials, MTHS staff decided to keep the past arrangement of those collections/finding aids and provide access to them via links in the primary finding aid. This decision has allowed the MTHS archival staff to maintain intellectual control over the collection, while removing the need to reprocess it. It also keeps State Agency finding aids at manageable sizes. Please read the scope and content note carefully to determine if this subgroup/sub-subgroup pertains to your research needs.
