Background

Scope and content:

This collection mostly consists of University of Georgia academic related material dating from the 19th century through 1945 but does hold a few records dating to 1978. Some academic items include recordbooks (grade reports and class records), graduation information, correspondence, application and transferral forms along with material related to various student organizations. Among the artifacts are such things as a time capsule dating from 1872.

Some items of particular interest are two tuition books dating from 1821 to 1826 and 1838 to 1850. There also are 1932-1938 records from the Coordinate College and a large number of student reports from 1905 through 1916 (grades, correspondence, etc.) relating to Charles Mercer Snelling's time as a professor and dean at the University.
