University Archives
The University Archives was established in 1985 in conjunction with planning for the University Centennial celebration in 1989. The purpose of the archives is to collect, organize, preserve, and make available materials of permanent value to the University which have historical, legal, fiscal, or administrative significance.
The University Archives serves as an information resource for all persons interested in the history and development of the University of New Mexico. Among the source materials available to researchers are presidential correspondence; minutes of faculty, student, and staff governance bodies and committee reports of these organizations; records of the Board of Regents; University annual reports; materials from homecomings and commencements; campus architectural planning documents; and campus yearbooks, newspapers, and magazines.
The modern university is engaged in teaching, research, and service, and the University Archives strives to document the history of these basic functions.
