The Alumni Association, formed in 1915, confers automatic lifetime membership, without fee, on every graduate of the University. It reviews programs, provides advice and support to the University and is represented on the Board of Governors and the Senate. A president is elected each year to head the Council; the President of the University is an honorary member, and the presidents of the Students' Union and the Graduate Students' Association are ex officio members of the Council. Branches of the Association have been formed throughout the world and their representatives also sit on the Council. Graduates from the professional schools (Medicine, Dentistry, Pharmacy, Business, Nursing, Education, Forestry) can join special associations which promote the welfare of their Faculty under the aegis of the general Alumni Association. Elected secretaries kept the Association's records from 1915 to 1926. Geoffrey B. Taylor, Assistant Registrar, provided his unpaid services as Secretary from 1926 to 1946. A full-time paid position was established in that year. The purpose of the Alumni Affairs Office, headed by a Director, is to provide professional administrative management and support to the Association, and to oversee alumni involvement with the University. While it may be possible to distinguish between the activities of the Association and the Office, and between some of the papers of each, because the two are so intertwined and because the Office provides all of the administrative support necessary for the functioning of the Association, the Archives has combined the records in this description. Secretaries: 1946-1947 John Clemence Gordon Brown; 1947-1951 John William Evans Markle; 1951-1977 Alex Gilmour Markle

The American Society for Information Sciences is a professional organization dedicated to advancing the field of information science and technology. Known today as the Association for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T), the organization promotes research, education, and professional development in the field. It sponsors conferences and events, publishes scholarly journals and books, and provides a wide range of resources and services to its members. There are also various geographically-defined chapters to encourage communication among members, as well as student chapters to foster fellowship and create informal contacts.

ASIS&T was founded in 1937 as the American Documentation Institute (ADI), with the mission of promoting the effective communication and dissemination of scientific and technical information. The organization was originally focused on the development of documentation systems for scientific and technical literature.

In 1968, the organization was renamed the American Society for Information Science (ASIS), reflecting its broader focus on the study of information science as a field. The name was again updated in 2000 to the American Society for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T), due to the growth of online databases. ASIS&T established an international presence in 2000 by opening a chapter in Europe, and later expanded further to include chapters in Asia and Africa.

In 2013, ASIS&T changed its name again to the Association for Information Science and Technology (ASIS&T), to better reflect the evolving nature of the field and the organization's global focus.

Over the years, ASIS&T has played a leading role in shaping the field of information science and technology, through its publications, conferences, and professional development programs. It has also been involved in the development of standards and guidelines for information management and retrieval.
