Administrative History
The Friends of the UCSD Library is a non-profit educational organization whose members take an informed interest in the activities
of the libraries and the University. Since 1961, the Friends have provided financial support for the enrichment of library
resources, particularly through the acquisition of books in support of academic programs. The Friends sponsored exhibitions,
receptions and public events, such as the Public Events Series, the Great Authors Series and the Contemporary Writers Program.
Between 1975 and 1985, the Friends sponsored an annual contest for the best undergraduate book collection. The Friends have
also published several facsimile keepsakes from holdings in the library's collections. In 1993, the organization changed its
name to Friends of the UCSD Libraries.
Scope and Content of Collection
