Historical Note: The University Records and Archives Committee was authorized by the Board of Curators on 13 February 1970. The Committee was charged with determining which University records had enduring administrative, legal, and research value and thus were candidates for retention by the University Archives and which records lacked such long-term value and needed to be destroyed or otherwise disposed. These decisions were regulated either in general retention and disposition authorizations (applying to all University units) or in special retention and disposition authorizations for uncommon records (applying to only the records of a single or select number of units). The Committee was disbanded when the University of Missouri Archives was decentralized on 31 December 1991.
