History
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. The committee meets at least annually with
additional meeting possible by a call from the chairman.
Scope and Content

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.

wide Archives.
