[UMA-SRE-19880051] Student record cards to 1957

Description

IdentifierUMA-SRE-19880051Extent16 drawers1 card safe containing 35 drawersScope and ContentStudent record cards for students enrolled up to 1957. The information on them is compiled from a number of primary records (Matriculation Roll, Examination Books and Degree Book) held still by Student Administration. The cards show, at best, full name, enrolment number, subjects passed in public examinations, date of signing the Matriculation Rolls, subjects enrolled for with results, years of completing each stage of the course, dates of conferrings, exhibitions and prizes and (on later cards) date of birth.
Information on the cards comprising this series had been compiled over many years in response to requests for confirmation of results and other reasons. Numerous requests by genealogists and historians becoming increasingly burdensome to the section, entailing searches through numerous records if no card had been made up for the individual. In the late 1970s, at the urging of the Officer-in-Charge Ray Sheffield and with support from the Senior Archivist, money was granted for a staff member to go through all primary records available systematically and compile from them a complete and correct set of records. Gerda Koch, who had resigned from the Section in 1979, was reappointed for the task. Student cards have not been compiled since 1986 and the information is now recorded electronically.Collection CategoryUniversity, officialAccess StatusAccess restrictions applyAccess Conditions
