Ryerson Archives
The University Archives is a repository and research facility within the Library that documents the history of the University and forerunner institutions located at St. James Square, which has been called the cradle of education in Ontario for its significance in the development of the educational system in the province. The Archives was established in 1971 on recommendation of the Smyth Commission on Ryerson Polytechnic University's governance and organization. The Archives mandate is to acquire, appraise, maintain and provide access to those records which have enduring value to the University for administrative, legal, fiscal, and historical purposes. In 1982, Records Management was added to the Archives mandate in order to provide guidance to University departments. The Archives is the final repository for University records of enduring value, and serves as the institutional memory of Ryerson University and its antecedent institutions.
