Overview
This collection consists of materials created by the Office of Diversity, Equity, and Inclusion.
Collection Arrangement
To improve access to the collection, during reprocessing the archivist rearranged the collection into two topical series that align with the different records created by the office. Individual series were organized in various ways upon receipt; arrangement within these series was revised to be chronological to improve consistency across parts of the collection. The collection is intellectually arranged in this collection guide according to these series, which largely follow the physical arrangement. The arrangement of the collection is as follows:
Series 1, Office internal communications, grants, and reports
Series 2, Events planning and documentation
Physical Location
This collection is located in the Barnard Archives and Special Collections, Barnard Library. To use this collection, please contact the Barnard Archives and Special Collections at 212.854.4079 or archives@barnard.edu.
