PCGS Finding Aids-Ozark Empire Fair Collection

"Ozark Empire Fair Scrapbooks and Collection"
PCGS's archivist, Leta Gass, spent many weeks cataloging and sorting scrapbooks,
pictures and other media from the 75 years of the Ozark Empire Fair.
This collection is on loan from the Fair.

This collection contains 2,618 3x5 or 4x6 photographs. Most of these were already categorized and numbered.
Those that weren’t were categorized to the best of the ability of those working with the collection.
Many of the photos contain a date of 1983, 1984, 1985, 1986, 1987, 1989, 1990, 1995, 1996, or 1997.

To distinguish the size of the photograph, the 3x5 photos are by category/number only.
The 4x6 photos all begin with the letters OEF then have the category/number.
Researchers may request a copy or digital copy of a photograph from the Polk County
Genealogical Society for a fee. Please contact PCGS at info@pcgsmo.com for more information.

The following categories are included along with the number of pictures in each category.

1960 General with Races

General 1976
This scrapbook contains many articles and photos from the Springfield newspapers concerning the Ozark Empire Fair, its employees, and events taking place on the fairgrounds. Articles from area newspapers and newsletters from various groups are also included. The pages are intact, however; several of the articles do not have a source or date listed. This is especially true towards the end of the book. The articles are glued haphazardly on several pages and sometimes glued to two pages. Many of the articles and pictures are repeated and marked as such. Fair dates were August 6-12. SDN—Springfield Daily News SLP—Springfield Leader-Press SNL—Saturday/Sunday News-Leader
