For the relevant period in the 1970's the University Archivist was on the board. The inaugural meeting was conducted on 11th December 1967, and commenced with a discussion of the rules by which board meetings were to be conducted. Subsequent meetings involved discussion of the following issues: Finance, staffing, staff activities, collection usage, administration of copyright in Grainger works,Grainger events, collection development, special research access, curator's reports, the Grainger estate and relations with Stewart Manville and the Grainger Library Society. At the last meeting documented here, a review of the statement of aims of the board was under discussion. At some stage the board was succeeded by the Grainger Museum Advisory Council (GMAC).
