Ellen V. Futter, 1976-1993

Scope and content:

Series 5, Ellen V. Futter, contains correspondence between Futter and academic departments, professors, administrators, administrative departments, students, and donors. In contrast to records of earlier presidential tenures, the records created by Futter include multiple formats beyond correspondence, including reports made by the President and for the President, committee materials and their supporting documents, and speeches given by Futter. Additionally, this series contains materials related to statistical data of Barnard College produced for external organizations alongside Barnard and Columbia intercorporate agreement discussions.

Arrangement:

Series 5, Ellen V. Futter, was organized in multiple ways upon receipt, which the archivist revised for easier access and reference. The archivist arranged this series into five subseries:

  • Subseries 5.1, Internal communications
  • Subseries 5.2, External communications and Barnard College-Columbia University relations
  • Subseries 5.3, Biographical and research files
  • Subseries 5.4, Reports, statistics, and committees
  • Subseries 5.5, Speeches
The archivist, whenever possible, organized the materials into these topical subseries. The contents themselves are described at the file level.
