RG998 MANUSCRIPT COLLECTION

 

The Missouri State Archives Manuscript Collection consists of non-state government records. Each sub-collection in this record group is assigned a manuscript number. Manuscripts cover a range of subjects such as personal records, maps, photographs, reports, correspondence, etc., all related to Missouri history.

 

To get an overview of the 220+ manuscripts, click on the General Manuscript List link below. Use the List to identify collections of interest. Not all manuscripts will have detailed finding aids, so the General List is more comprehensive than the finding aids below.
