University of Northern Colorado Administrative Records
The University Archives is the repository for official university records. The majority of these collections come from units on campus. While these records document administrative functions, policies, activities, and administrators, they are rich sources of information about the planning and growth of the campus, significant events, campus culture, diversity initiatives, major research projects, the entire UNC community of people, and relationships between UNC and the local community, state government, and other institutions. These records have permanent historical, research, administrative, legal, and or/fiscal value.
Collections are grouped by record group (RG). Please see ArchivesSpace Collecting Areas for a hierarchical list of collections by record group.
