The first module of the University of Missouri Libraries Depository (UMLD) was established in 1997 as a facility for the storage of important, but infrequently used, research library materials. The collection contains materials from the libraries of the University of Missouri-Columbia, the University of Missouri-Kansas City, the University of Missouri-Rolla, the University of Missouri-St. Louis, the State Historical Society of Missouri and the Western Historical Manuscripts Collection. The UMLD is managed through the University of Missouri-Columbia by the Director of Libraries through the Access Services Division Head and staff on site.
The second module of UMLD (U2) began operations in March 2007.
Due to the busy schedule at UMLD, tours of the facility must be approved, and are by appointment only. For more information about UMLD please contact June DeWeese, Head of Access Services, Ellis Library, or James Keyzer-Andre, UMLD Manager.
Total Items Stored at UMLD : 1,286,653 Total Items Stored at U2 : 91,573
