The McGill University Archives (MUA) performs integrated archival and records management for McGill University. [1] and is housed on the fourth floor of the McLennan Library Building.
The MUA provides a number of searchable, online databases for researchers. [2] In addition, "A Guide to Archival Resources at McGill University" (1985) [a] gives a broad overview of archival holdings at McGill University. [3] The McGill University Records Retention Schedule (MURRS) [b] is also available online, and shows common records created during the daily operations of the University. [4]
The establishment of the McGill University Archives was announced in 1962 by Principal F. Cyril James along with the appointment of McGill's first University Archivist, Mr. Alan Ridge. [5]
