The Homecoming Papers collection consists of a yearly folder about the preparation for Homecoming at Minnesota State University, Mankato and its predecessor institutions. Included in the folders are newspaper articles about different Homecoming events, as well as photographs of events that took place during the week.

It is unclear as to which departments these materials came from, so this collection was put together artificially. It is important for the researcher to consider the related collections to make sure they have considered other possibly relevant materials.
