Special Collections & Archives announces the opening of the Online Archive of UCI History, an important new digital archive on the history of the UC Irvine campus.
The archive was created to commemorate the campus’s 50th anniversary in 2015, but will continue to grow in the coming months and years leading up to the anniversary. It is a central resource for anyone interested in the history of our unique campus. The site is fully searchable and browse-able by title, date, creator, and subject. Each collection and sub-collection includes a summary of its contents, which will help guide researchers who might enter the Online Archive by browsing or through a web search.
Included are audio and video recordings, films, photographs and slides, and publications from 1959 forward. Currently, the Online Archive features:
• 30 oral histories of prominent faculty and staff
• 29 videos and films including the stunning NBC production “Birth of a Campus” (1964) and the funky promotional video “Wot ZOT?” (1974)
• digitized and full-text searchable back issues of the New University from 1968-1993
• over 2100 photographs and slides documenting the campus through 1970 including the popular Early Campus Albums.
The archive will continue to be enhanced over time. For further information about this exciting new resource, please go here or contact Audra Eagle Yun, Acting Head of Special Collections and Archives at 949.824.2263 or aeyun@uci.edu.
