The UCL College Archives are comprised of material charting the history of the university, from its establishment in 1826 to the present day. Most of the collection consists of material created in the day-to-day running of the institution and includes records such as foundation deeds and papers, committee minutes, administrative correspondence, department records and reports, early student society/association papers, staff and student files, building plans and maps, artwork and photographs.
Published material, including university and student journals and monographs, can be found in College Collection and can be searched on UCL Library’s Explore page.
Cataloguing work is ongoing and records are being regularly added and updated. For any material that is not yet available online please contact us at spec.coll@ucl.ac.uk.
