Content and structure area
Scope and content
These records contain minutes and agenda papers of the decision making body of the Faculty of Science. There are two committees represented in these minutes, the main committee and the standing committee. The meetings discussed such matters as the weighting of coursework, student appeals for special consideration, finances and staff issues.
Accruals
System of arrangement
There are two runs of records, Standing Committee minutes and agenda and Faculty of Science minutes and agenda. Each of these is in chronological order. Note that there is some duplication in the different volumes of records for each year. Some volumes contain confidential minutes as well as ordinary minutes and some volumes contain more agenda papers than others from the same year. No volume completely duplicated another so all volumes have been kept.
