The Registrar’s Office holds primary responsibility for the current and archived editions of the University’s catalog, the Bulletin, and for providing access to the catalogs. The Registrar’s Office maintains the University’s online catalog, both current and archived editions, dating back to the 2015-2016 academic year. In addition, the Registrar’s Office also maintains a collection of print catalogs dating back to the 1906/1907 academic year. Copies of the catalog materials that are not available in digital format via the University website may be requested by telephone and email, as well as by visiting the Registrar’s Office.  Requested copies may be faxed, emailed, or mailed.

Secondary to the catalog collection maintained by the Registrar’s Office is the collection maintained by the Anna Crawford Milner Archives and Special Collections, housed in Carmichael Library. The Archives include catalogs dating from the University’s founding in 1896 to the present, in digital and print form. The catalogs from 1896 through the 1969-1970 academic year are available in digital form via the archives on the University’s website. Digitization of the catalogs for archival purposes was made possible by a grant that allowed the process to be completed only up to the 1969-1970 catalog. The complete set of print catalogs (1896-present) are housed by the library in a climate-controlled room in the archives and can be accessed by visiting Carmichael Library.
