YRG/YRG 05/YRG 05F. Records documenting operations and administrative services at Yale University

Consists of records generated by the management of the University's physical resources and its administrative support services. These records document the purchasing and control of equipment and supplies, management of dining hall and other business operations, parking management, management of information systems and communications services, printing services, and similar support functions. While some records documenting the management of Yale buildings and facilities may be found in this classification, the bulk of such documentation, particularly as it relates to the management of building and renovation projects, may be found in YRG 46. For many years, many of the administrative operations of the University were a direct responsibility of the Treasurer, and records generated by those operations may be found in YRG 5-A. Most of the records in this classification document administrative activities for later periods, when these functions became the direct responsibility of more specialized offices. Records documenting operations and services specific to a particular school, department, or other division of the University may also be found with the records of that division.
