The clippings in this collection were originally mounted on 8-1/2 x 11 inch paper and kept in loose-leaf notebooks. After
the clippings were microfiched, the originals were discarded, with the exception of clippings from 1954-1965. The discoloration
of 1954-1965 news clippings prevented the creation of high-quality microfiche images; therefore, the originals were kept for
reference. During the transfer of the collection to microfiche, the clippings were kept in their original order under their
supplied topical headings.
From its inception in the early 1960s, UCI's Public Affairs Office collected printed news clippings from various publications
in an effort to document appearances of UCI in the news. Beginning in 1996 the Communications Office, one of the successors
of the Public Affairs Office, assembled packets of news articles and named them "UCI Daily Clippings." The Communications
Office distributed printed versions of "UCI Daily Clippings" through campus mail from 1996 until September 2000 and began
to distribute them via electronic mail as early as 1998. Some "UCI Daily Clippings" were also made available online beginning
in 1998. As of 2008, University Communications posts links to various publications on their Web page "UCI in the News" (http://today.uci.edu/NEWS/uciinthenews.asp).
