Background

Scope and content:

The records contained in the CSU Historical Archives Advisory Committee Papers date from 1962 to 1997 but mostly concern 1980-1997. These records provide insight into the concerns and activities of CSU Archives Advisory Committee, which was developed to support and advise the CSU Historical Archives. The records document the establishment of the Archives Advisory Committee, the establishment of the CSU Archives at California State University Dominugez Hills in 1979, and the growth and changes in the Archive since its inception.

Materials include the Archives' finances, records of management procedures, general policies and procedures, correspondence generated by the Advisory Committee members and the CSU Archives and records of the committee's progress reports and membership lists. Also included are minutes from CSU Archives Advisory Committee meetings and records of the CSU Archives Oral History Project. Included are grant applications and some illustrative material.

Biographical / historical:

In 1979, the California State University and College Board of Trustees, with an eye on the up coming 20th anniversary of CSU system, established the California State University and Colleges Historical Archives Project. The project, which became the California State University Historical Archives, is housed at CSU Dominguez Hills. The archive was established to include selected materials related to the origins and development (approximately 1958-present) of the CSU system as a whole and deemed of historical significance.

The advisory board was established also in 1979 to assist in identifying materials for the collection and to provide advice on the over all support and development of the archives. Membership on the Advisory Committee consists of 15 persons drawn from present and past trustees, retired presidents, faculty leaders, CSU historians, and members of the general public. The Chancellor and the President of CSUDH serve as ex-officio members.
