Archives: 'storehouse ,of history

For a man who delights in finding ,and -saving historically important records, ' ,eh Havener could hardly ~ish. for a ~o~e , .' gental job than that of University archivISt. 'Ji4t.;f for that matter, could he want a more bou~tIful source of the stuff of which archives $1'& made. ,. ' Certainly there is an abundance of 1ihJs '''stuff'' on the four campuses. The University produces it at an alarming rate and the-n .stores it - in boxes, drawers, barrels and fJleoabinets. And, to ensure its safekeeping­ since much of it, for various reasons, must be kept - there is a University regulation prohibiting the disposal of any University reoords without authorization from the Unlversity Records and Archives Committee, of which Havener is secretary. (See z aocompanying story.) p

"Traditionally," Havener says, "the university archivist goes after the administrative records - of the president, the vice presidents, the directors and dean~ and the departmental chairmen. And we also like to go out after the papers of what ,we .c~1I 'significant' faculty members. It s difficult t? define what a 'significant' faculty member IS, but if there is someone who ranks high enough in the humanities orthe sooial sciences to be in Who's Who, or, forthe physical sciences, h~lds membership in one of the national academies, then we try to get his or her papers, too." In addition, Havener says, the Curators Archives contain the minutes of administrative committees, faculty bodies and stude."t meeting organizations; annual reports a.n~ var~ous in Columbia other reports issued by the adminIstratIon, the faculty and studentgroups; official catalogues A rather short agenda and bulletins; news releases; UM Press books; , awaits action by the Board extension manuals; student pUblications; of Curators at its meeting photographs; tapes; and assorted today in Columbia, begin­ memorabilia. ning at 10 a.m. Ralph Havener, University Occasionally, Havener says, Among busl ness faculty and staff members express some archivist, doing what he enjoys most.
