Arrangement

Boxes 1-10 contain library-bound volumes of Board of Trustees meeting minutes, which are arranged chronologically. Some volumes share overlapping dates meaning they contain identical minutes. However, volumes with overlapping dates may contain different supporting documents, such as budgets, tables, memos, and handwritten notes.

Boxes 11-15 contain "Board Books," which include meeting agendas, minutes, and committee reports, including those of the Executive Committee. The library-bound volumes and the "Board Books" overlap from 1999 to 2014.

Unbound meeting minutes and related materials that were not included in the bound volumes are arranged chronologically in Boxes 16-18. Two boxes of microfilms are arranged chronologically at the end of the subseries in Boxes 19-20.
