The Association of American University Professors (AAUP), Fresno Chapter records measure 5.25 linear inches and date from 1957 to 1981. The collection is arranged in two series: Fresno chapter and State chapter.

The American Association of University Professors (AAUP) was formed in 1915 by university professors and scholars. It emerged as the first national organization of its kind to protect the interests of professors and research scholars in higher education. Later, the national organization began to organize state and local chapters. Local chapters provided faculty with easier access to the association and promoted their own issues with the guidance of the national association.

Copyright has been transferred to California State University, Fresno.

The collection is open for research.
