The Reference Library

The books in our library are for reference only and may not be removed from the library. While the ability to access a library electronically would be a great benefit to any researcher, the books in our library exist only in their original form — as books — and are not available online at the Museum of Public Relations web site. Some of them are quite old and brittle. Even placing them on a copy machine could cause irreparable damage.

The books, periodicals, and all other materials in our library are, unfortunately, not for sale. If you are looking to acquire any of the titles found in our inventory, you might get lucky and find them at an out-of-print bookseller such as http://www.bookfinder.com or www.usedbooksearch.co.uk. We found some of our books there as well.

The reference library is open for research by appointment only, on most business days between 10:00 a.m. and 4:00 p.m.

Museum of Public Relations Site Development

Our exhibits and library acquisitions are the result of donations of time and/or other resources by volunteers from the academic world and from practicing and retired pr people.

If you are a student, educator, researcher, web designer/programmer, or from any other field, and are interested in developing an upcoming feature for the online Museum, please let us know. We will also pursue the possibility with your academic institution for you or your group to receive credit for your work in developing materials for the Museum.

Research for Projects and Assignments

Each week, we receive e-mails from all over the world from people with questions ranging from how to launch a public relations firm to how to find answers to pr problems or help with class assignments. Being able to supply such a service is beyond the parameters of our mission. Surfing the Internet or searching microfilm databases at libraries, universities or news organizations are some recommended ways for you to uncover the answers to those questions.

If you come across any compelling fact, story or resource during the course of your research that you feel would be of interest, please feel free to let us know. We are always interested in expanding the material on this site, as well in developing new exhibitions.

Broken links or missing elements
Occasionally we learn of broken links and missing pictures or other errors from our visitors. We are always grateful for your help in letting us know when you run into these issues.
