About the University Record Groups
The University’s records are organized by Record Groups. These Record Groups have been created to reflect the administrative and academic arrangement of the University.
As the University continues to grow, departments and offices merge and new programs are established. The University Archives is in the process of bringing the original Record Group arrangement to accurately reflect the current organizational chart for the University (2023).
*Please note any items below that are listed in green italic text are materials that will be physically renumbered, rehoused and moved at a future date.
