The University Archives was fostered by President W.H. Johns (1959-1969) and Professors L.G and L.H. Thomas of the Department of History. A University Archives Committee was established in 1962, and the Board of Governors approved the proposed department in 1968. The first archivist was appointed in September 1968, and the Archives policy statement accepted by the Board in October 1969. The Archives actively seeks to collect all permanently valuable official documents made and received by University officials and governing bodies. It collects the records of University sponsored staff, student and alumni associations, the personal papers of staff members, and audio-visual materials related to all these groups. Since 1995, the University Archives has formed part of Learning Systems Enterprises. The University Archivist reports to the Executive Director, Learning Systems Enterprises.
