This Record Group brings together the records of one-time University events, especially those which were not clearly the responsibility or creation of a single University body. Included are programmes and announcements of such events as the official opening of buildings, University dinners and Royal Visits. These materials are usually printed and are arranged in chronological order. In addition, the records of the Office of Conferences and Special Events are included here. This Office was set up to arrange and coordinate the use of University facilities and services for meetings, conferences and other functions which are not part of the regular academic programmes of the University. Campus events are also documented in almost all the Record Groups in this inventory and especially in Record Group 49, Public Relations.
CAMPUS EVENTS, 1862-
Only a representative sampling is provided here, other events may be traced if their approximate dates are known. These materials are all in the Printed Collection.
