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, faculty minutes and committee reports, records of the Board of Regents, annual reports, materials from homecomings and commencements, architectural planning documents, and campus yearbooks and newspapers.

The modern university is engaged in teaching, research and service,
and the University Archives strives to document the history of
these basic functions.
