Custodial history
Records were transferred from DalTech offices to Dalhousie University Archives in several accessions from 1998 to 2004. Additional records were transferred from Nova Scotia Archives and Records Management.
Scope and content
Fonds consists of the records of the Technical University of Nova Scotia, predominanty from its first 40 years as the Nova Scotia Technical College and from its final decade before amalgamation with Dalhousie University.
College governance is well documented through the minutes and correspondence of the Board of Governors and the Senate, and the President’s records.
The administration of technical education courses in communities throughout Nova Scotia, 1907-1947, is minutely detailed in the records of the Director of Technical Education, as well as through the series of beautiful glass plate negatives of Technical Education classes.
The Public Relations office created files, photographs, sound and video recordings of events, faculty, staff and students of TUNS.
A selection of student records is available in the series of records from the Registrar’s Office; however access is restricted to protect privacy.
The development of the TUNS campus is well documented through construction photographs, aerial photographs, historical overviews, and files on land acquisition and renovations to historic buildings.
