The draft of the Code of Academic Freedom and Tenure with memo from Faculty Executive Committee was transferred to the Barnard Archives in 1978 from a library staff member named Natalie Sonevytsky. Other materials related to the Faculty Planning Committee were transferred to the Barnard Archives in 2015 and 2024; the source of the acquistion is unknown.
This collection is arranged chronologically. Additionally, the archivist completed high-level physical rearrangement to allow the digital materials to be easily integrated into a single system of arrangement. The archivist placed the digital documents, at the highest directory level, into a new folder with a new file name.
