University Archives

The University Archives consist of correspondence, records, photographs, publications, periodicals, outreach materials, program materials, oral histories, broadsides, and other materials that document the founding and development of the University of Houston-Clear Lake.

The institutional records include materials from student groups and publications, such as the student newspaper. The records include the official papers of UHCL's founding chancellor Dr. Alfred R. Neumann, records of Judy Chicago's 1980 exhibition The Dinner Party, and thousands of photographs documenting the history of UHCL.

UHCL Archives places the highest priority on acquiring institutional records which possess permanent administrative, operational, legal, and historical value regarding the University. UHCL Archives collects University institutional records, based on the state-certified University of Houston System Records Retention Schedule, as UHCL is a component institution within the larger University of Houston System.

The Archives also collects the papers of current and former faculty members and papers from UHCL alumni.
