Historical Note

In August 1950 the Library Committee of the The Society for Range Management agreed to establish a depository library at Utah State University (then Utah State Agricultural College.) Arrangements between the Society and the University were finalized in October 1952. Since 1966, the depository library has been housed within the Special Collections Department at Utah State University.
