Biographical/Historical note
The Stanford University Archives was officially created in 1965 by the Board of Trustees, but active collection of historical
materials had been in place prior to that date. One of the early attempts to catalog some of that material was a subject framework
known as the "4digit" collection, now known as the publications and ephemera collection.
