The records of the Administrative Board consist of minutes recording the deliberations and activities of this body, which document matters relating to the routine, day-to-day operations of the University. These materials comprise Series 1.
The historical background and full significance of the Administrative Board is not known. It is believed that the Administrative Board worked in conjunction with the University Senate in an advisory and/or administrative capacity. A series of other bodies, the Council of Administration, the University Council, the General Council, and the General Administrative Board are also believed to have worked with the University Senate in a similar capacity. However, it is not known if each of these bodies was a separate entity with a unique name, or if they are all the same body called by various names, or if the advisory body's name was officially changed periodically.
This collection is organized as one series:
The records of the Administrative Board were transferred to the University of Maryland College Park Libraries in 1972 by the College Park Campus Senate.
One series was identified in the records of the Administrative Board. These records were removed from the binding in which they were received, refoldered into an acid-free folder, and boxed into an acid-free container. Lastly, the guide was written.
