Series IX: School of International and Public Affairs (SIPA)'s Regional Institutes, 1944-2004

Scope and content:

In February 2004, The Office of the Secretary (with assistance from the University Archives and School of International and Public Affairs [SIPA]), compiled various documents regarding SIPA's Regional Institutes. Relevant materials from Trustee Minutes, Trustee Committee Minutes and Central Files were photocopied and arranged into indexed file folders for easy reference by that office. The original copy was kept by the Secretary's Office and a second copy was given to the University Archives. This box contains the Archives' copy of these subject specific documents as well as some relevant notes kept the University Archives as the research was conducted.
