Content Description
The records of Crown College were maintained by the College until their transfer to the
University Archives in 2016. Original order was maintained when discernible and the records
are organized into five series representing the organizational groupings in which the
records appear to have been maintained by the College: Administrative Files (including the
files of various CAOs and Provosts, often interfiled together); Residential Life Files;
Kenneth V. Thimann Files; the Crown Chamber Players; Photographs; and Audiovisual
Materials.
Correspondence to and from various College staff can be found throughout these files, along
with administrative memoranda, ephemera such as event programs and flyers, and budget
information. Included in the collection are Executive Committee and Fellows minutes; files
on the Crown College core course, including course approvals, syllabi and lecture outlines;
as well as administrative materials such as funding information.

Arrangement
Arranged alphabetically.
Scope and Contents
Many of these files were likely created by or for various College Academic Officers but
seem to have been filed together over the years so that the creator may no longer be
readily evident. Files are arranged alphabetically by folder title. Original titles were
retained if known. This series includes a wide variety of records from subject files to
correspondence, minutes of various committees and administrative and financial
records.
