Record Groups
The University Archives is organized by record group. Every effort has been made to preserve the document's office of origination. (For example, an original document created during the tenure a president is located in that president's collection.) For preservation purposes, some documents, such as photographs and audio visual material, have been separated from their office of origination and arranged by type. For better access, some documents, such as publications, course catalogs, and handbooks, have been separated from their office of origination and arranged in chronological order. This record group list reflects only the collections that have been processed. For finding aids, click directly on each link.
