Margaret I. Rufsvold came to Indiana University in 1938 to help develop a library science curriculum. In 1947 she was asked to serve as the director of the Division of Library Science, which was then part of the School of Education. In 1966, she was named dean of the newly created Graduate Library School, a position she held for two months before resigning from administrative duties. Rufsvold retired with the title of Professor Emeritus in 1973. The Margaret I. Rufsvold papers consist of correspondence, research files, reports, committee files, teaching files, speeches, Rufsvold's records relating to positions held as a consultant, and publications which document the professional activities of Rufsvold in state and national organizations, as well as in organizations and departments relating to Indiana University. Prominent in the collection are papers relating to her involvement with both Indiana and national library organizations such as the Indiana Library Association, the Indiana School Librarians Association, and the American Library Association. The ALA files are varied, but her work on their Committee on Accreditation and the American Association of School Librarians Committee are most prominent.
