Finding Aid
The majority of these materials have not been described in detail. The table below indicates the areas where we have material and the box numbers for that material. For portions that have full descriptive finding aids, the title of the department/material has been linked to the finding aid page. In this case 'See Finding Aid' is noted in the column with the box numbers.
The materials related to McMaster University have been divided into five general series:
1. Administration and Governance
2. Academics
3. Libraries
4. General – includes history of the University, photographs, and other material
5. Publications
If finding aids exist online, a link is provided; if there is a hard copy finding aid available in the reading room, it is noted. Box numbers are provided where available to indicate general quantity of material.
