Archival Biographical File
The Archival Biographical File was established in order to organize and make accessible information on faculty members, officers, trustees, staff members, and other individuals related to the University. The materials have been received from many sources, although the largest portion has come from the Office of University News and Information and its predecessors. No attempt is made by the Archives to systematically collect biographical information on all members of the University community, but appropriate items are filed here as they are received.The file includes biographical data sheets, curriculum vitae, obituaries, press releases, articles, and news clippings. Some folders also contain small amounts of letters and other original manuscripts. With a few exceptions, the file does not contain information on students or alumni, unless they have some other affiliation with the University.
Book-length biographies, autobiographies, and memoirs are listed in a separate inventory, "Archival Biographical Monographs."
New materials are regularly received and added to the file. This listing will be updated periodically to reflect any changes.
The Archives has many other resources for obtaining information on faculty and staff members of the University, including official publications, records of departments and offices, and papers of individuals. Please consult a member of the Archival staff for further assistance.
