GSUC Archives

CUNY Graduate Center Archives and Special Collections houses the official archives of the Graduate School and University Center (GSUC) of The City University of New York. The GSUC Archives includes historical material of enduring value that is transferred from organizational units at the CUNY Graduate Center. The bulk of our collection was compiled between the late 1990s and 2014, with collection indexes available as PDF documents. Efforts are underway to migrate these inventories into an online searchable catalog, and links to both are listed below.

Arrangement

Materials are organized into eight record groups, generally based on the originating office, with the exception of the Subject File. The Subject File was created by the first archivist at the Graduate Center and is a compilation of materials obtained from various offices and filed alphabetically by topic. There is considerable overlap among the record groups: topics treated by a given committee (in the "Committee Records" group) may appear in other documents in the “Subjects” file or again in a president’s papers.
