Conference programs and reports, 1981/1997

Scope and content:

This series consists of programs and reports that document the history of conferences and symposia hosted by the Health Sciences Library. Programs and reports often contain the following information: lists of speakers, presentation titles, schedules of events, and lecture abstracts. The following conference records are not included in this series: registration records, financial records, organization records, attendance lists.

Arrangement:

Conference records and programs are arranged into files by conference title. The files are arranged chronologically by the date each conference was held. All of the instances of a reoccurring conference are gathered together into the same file. If the conference is reoccurring, it is arranged in relation to the rest of the files according to the first instance of that conference.

Accruals:

Historically significant conference programs and reports are scheduled for permanent retention in the archives. The head of the Historical Collections and Services Department at the Health Sciences Library determines whether a program or report is historically significant. Accruals to this series are expected.
