BISHOP'S UNIVERSITY ARCHIVES - ADMINISTRATIVE RECORDS

Bishop's University has housed archives since its founding in 1843, and for many years the safe-keeping of these precious documents was the responsibility of the University Librarian. However, it was not until the the creation of the Special Collections Room in 1976, that the Department of Special Collections and Archives was duly established and proper care was given to the storage of the university archives. In 1979 a portion of the oldest records described were designated "biens culturels".  At that time, the University Archives were not organized as they are today, but classified according to a general alphabetical and subject order. The years since have shown a complete reorganization of the archival holdings and the records are now composed of two main groups: the Record Group (administrative records) and the Manuscript Group (private records of faculty, students, alumni and staff). The latter are described according to the national standard of Rules for Archival Description, or RAD. Several smaller groups of records include photographs, artefacts, sound recordings, videotapes and various other media. 

An overview of the Record Groups

Note: not all Record Group numbers contain records; a Guide to the Holdings is available for consulation in the Old Library, McGreer Hall.
