An eight-page monthly printed on 12 inch by 9 inch paper, The Gunston Ledger first appeared on October 15, 1963 on the then George Mason College campus located in Bailey's Crossroads. On the staff of twelve students included a photography editor, Richard Sparks, and he contributed two to four photos for each edition. The content consisted of campus news, features on GMC faculty and students, engagement and wedding notices, and some commentary. The Ledger became the Broadside on October 28, 1969. It was explained in that issue that the name change was part of an effort to remake the paper into more of a news instrument like that of the nation's revolutionary fathers. The Broadside was a weekly paper which contained sixteen or more pages in each issue. Photography in the Broadside was mostly limited to campus events and personalities. Currently (2012) Broadside is a weekly newspaper, published on Mondays during the semester, in print and . In addition to campus news, the paper features local, national and world news, entertainment, sport, music, restaurant reviews and commentary that might, in some way, affect college students. Broadside prides itself on being a newspaper by students and for students, and uses the tagline \"Writing the first draft of Mason history.\"","Student groups published yearbooks under various names from 1964 until 1989.

It is a 501(c)(3) non-profit foundation organized and operated exclusively for the benefit of the university. The foundation assists the university in generating private support, and manages, invests, and administers private gifts, including endowment and real property.

The original student body consisted of 17 young men and women from local high schools. The college was renamed \"George Mason College\" in late 1959 and moved to its first permanent campus at Fairfax during the fall of 1964. George Mason College became independent of the University of Virginia on April 7, 1972 and was renamed George Mason University. In 1979 George Mason's acquisition of the International School of Law in Arlington was approved by the Virginia Legislature, creating the George Mason University School of Law (now known as the Antonin Scalia Law School) upon the Arlington Campus (know known as Mason Square Campus). Today's Science and Technology Campus near Manassas, Virginia was established in 1997, and Mason Korea, located in the Incheon Global Campus, began operations in 2014. Enrollment at all campuses combined totaled over 40,000 in 2024.","Nearly all early official George Mason publications (from the late 1950s until 1972) were designed and printed by the University of Virginia at Charlottesville. They prominently displayed the University of Virginia seal (often on the front cover and title page). These publications included the George Mason College catalog (known as the \"Virginia Record\") and Schedule of Classes publications. Other publications that were more \"local\" in nature, such as telephone directories, George Mason College newsletters, reports, and publications prduced for Mason students, staff, faculty, and the public displayed the University of Virginia logos and language much less. After April 1972 the University of Virginia seal and references disappeared, altogether, as George Mason University became an independent entity with its own identity.","Some recurring publications designed to announce class offerings, codify university regulations and policies, report statistical data and university news, and other reference sources are no longer printed (beginning around 2009) and are now published and accessed on-line via the university website (www.gmu.edu).","Some materials were transferred directly to Special Collections Research Center from various George Mason University units, particularly University Relations (later Office of University Branding), the Office of the Registrar, and the College of Arts and Sciences (now the College of Humanities and Social Sciences and the College of Science) beginning around the late 1960s. Some of the materials were initially placed on Reserve for in-library use and then transferred to Special Collections, once they were superceded by newer versions of the title.
