Fonds consists of records generated by the University of Winnipeg, including its administration, teaching faculty, support staff, governing bodies, committees, internal departments, and student groups. Some of the records were generated in the same capacity by United College, Wesley College, Manitoba College, and the Collegiate, with continuity to the University of Winnipeg. The records include minutes and records of meetings; reports; correspondence; newspaper clippings; publications such as yearbooks, brochures, pamphlets, and posters; lectures, essays, and other compositions; and student records. The fonds is comprised of three separate record groups, namely UW (University of Winnipeg), AC (“All Colleges”), and CL (the Collegiate), which are arranged into a total of seventy-four series.
