UNIVERSITY ARCHIVES



Archives are the official noncurrent papers and records of an

institution that are deemed worthy of preservation for their

legal, fiscal, or historical values.  The University Archives,

a department within the John J. Burns Library, contain the

office records and documents of the various University

offices, academic and otherwise, copies of all University

publications, including student publications, movie footage of

Boston College football, some audiovisual materials, and tape

recordings of the University Lecture Series and other

significant events.  A significant collection of photographs

documents the pictorial history of Boston College.  Alumni,

faculty, and Jesuit records are also preserved.  In addition,

the Archives are the repository for the documents of Newton

College of the Sacred Heart (1946-1975); the Jesuit Education

Association (1934-1970); the Catholic International Education

Office (1952-1976); and the documents of the Jesuit Community

of Boston College (1863-       ).
