Records searches

Availability: UCOP

Service Description
UCOP employees with a business need may obtain records from the UCOP Central Records Collection in the following ways:

  1. Upon request, Records Management staff will search the collection for records from 1958 through the present. Queries involving records created prior to 1958 are referred to the University Archives at the Bancroft Library.
  2. UCOP employees may search the collection's electronic database, Document Central, which contains records from 1983 to the present. Generally, records from 1997 through the present are available as PDFs. Summaries of earlier records are available in the database; microfilmed copies of the records may be provided upon request.
