The materials in this collection consist of project development files, student papers, and operational records for the Action Research Liaison Office (ARLO) during the first decade of its opperation, 1974-1983.

The Action Research Liaison Office (ARLO) was an experimental extra-departmental program established by the ASSU in 1973 and began operation in 1974. Designed to advanced student research by matching students with social action groups, small companies, and faculty, the program helped students study and address community issues. This research would then be used by these community groups in their project planning. In 1986, ARLO was dismantled due to the restructuring of the Innovative Academic Courses office.
