Guide to Processed Collections
in the University Archives
Introduction
The Brigham Young University Archives preserves records documenting the history of the
university and its people as well as their impact on the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day
Saints and society. This guide describes the processed collections housed by the University
Archives. A processed collection is one that has been rehoused and carefully described with
either a catalog record or a finding aid or, in many cases, both a catalog record and a finding aid.
This guide gives the title of a collection, its call number and a brief description of its contents.
The guide is arranged topically and a list of those topics follows. To see the topics (sorted in
alphabetical order) click here. Click on the link that interests you to be taken directly to the
applicable portion of the guide.
The vast majority of the collections held by the University Archives are available for public
research. However, because the University Archives is the corporate archives for Brigham
Young University, several collections have restricted access. All restricted collections have a
note indicating which restriction applies. The end date of the restriction is always calculated
from the closing date of a collection. For example, UA 925 Rex E. Lee Brigham Young
University Presidents Records, 1910-1995 will be restricted until 2045 not 1960. If you have
any questions about restrictions, please contact the University Archivist at (801) 422-5821 or
[email protected]. To access the policy guiding the application of restrictions to
Brigham Young University corporate records, click here.
