Scope and Contents

From the Collection:

The RIT Alumni Association records consist of a variety of documents related to the association and its operations. The financial documents in the collection include records, ledgers, and dues ledgers from 1913-1949. Other financial items include fundraising information, budget proposals, and development brochures. The collection also includes a series of materials related to the Alumni Fund, established in 1942. This series predominantly includes correspondence and letters of solicitation, but also contains several brochures and clippings.

The collection also contains administrative documents such as meeting minutes and committee reports. The meeting minutes (1944-1970) are mostly for the Executive Council. Also included are governance documents such as the group's constitution and by-laws, and goals and objectives.

Another large part of the collection is made-up of documents related to specific chapters or clubs (e.g. Alumni Club of Dayton, Ohio). These files contain charters, correspondence, and various other administrative documents. There is also information on events sponsored by these clubs such as reunions, banquets, and conferences. Additionally, the collection includes documents for art exhibits, lectures, and other activities that featured RIT alumni.

The collection includes several publications such as the Alumni Mirror, Alumni News & Views, and other alumni newsletters. Also included are brochures and pamphlets put out by the organization.

In addition, the collection contains a variety of miscellaneous documents including correspondence, ephemera, planning documents, special committee work, awards, lists of alumni, notes, questionnaires and surveys, and alumni census information. The collection also contains two film reels used by the Alumni Association for recruitment and several novelty items such as lapel pins and Executive Council ribbons.

In 2014, brochures from the Distinguished Alumni Awards celebration in 2012, 2013 were added.
