Abstract

The Records of NUSAC include the founding documents of the Council, minutes of meetings of the Interim Non-Academic Staff Committee, which served as the precursor of NUSAC, and a nearly complete set of minutes of meetings of the Council (1976 through 1978 are lacking). Correspondence of the Council, most of which are photocopies, occupy seven folders and include correspondence of Jane C. Taylor (1972-1973), who was instrumental in efforts which resulted in the initial establishment of NUSAC. There follow subject files, which occupy one and one-half boxes and include considerable correspondence, as well.

Correspondence is arranged chronologically. The subject files are arranged alphabetically by folder title. These two main groups of materials are followed by a series of miscellaneous materials, including the chronologically-arranged minutes of the Council.
