Historical NoteReturn to Top
The business records of Willamette University have been managed by a number of different individuals, groups, and offices under different designations over the course the institution's history. For much of the University's first hundred years, management of the University's finances fell directly to the officers of the Board of Trustees, particularly the president and secretary. With the establishment of a Registrar for the University in the early 20th century, the person in that position also handled much of the day-to-day operational business on behalf of the University's president and the board.
The Willamette University Board of Trustees (the "Board") was formed by an act of the Council of the Territorial Legislature on January 1, 1853. In its early days, the Board was held responsible for augmenting the University endowment, disciplining the student body, conferring degrees, and generating collegiate courses of study. Over time the Board's duties have become less intimately related to student activity and academics, and can now be more accurately described as pertaining to general oversight of University affairs including, but not limited to, policy creation and development of University resources.

Arrangement
Materials are arranged into two groups. Historical materials are considered to be documents and records created prior to 1960 and not governed by a retention schedule. These materials are arranged into three series: Correspondence, Financial Records, and Property Records. Where possible, original order was maintained but in the majority of cases the documents and records had not been retained in original order and have been grouped by type and arranged chronologically within the series.
Boxes 18 and 30 originally comprised the Willamette University Board of Trustees records but were re-processed as part of this collection when the similarity of the records was recognized.
Records created after 1960 are retained and arranged according to the retention schedule for Accounting and Financial Affairs and retain original order where possible.
