Scope and Contents
From the Collection:
The Records of the Office of Operations date from 1981 to 2008, although the bulk of the material dates from 1996 to 2006. The records include project files for major maintenance or renovations to the building, including roof replacement; Programing Committee minutes; and planning and advertising material for College events and lectures. While the Office of Operations was not organized until 2010, much of the work fell under its direct predecessor, the Office of Programs and Internal Services, or was managed under the current (2017) Director of Operations, Antonia Oberthaler.
Series I: Hall and Grounds (1981-1996) is restricted to internal (current employee) use only. It includes files on smaller renovation projects, such as Museum lighting and Library carpeting, and larger renovation projects, such as the stacks roof replacement (1994-1995). Series I also contain project planning, reports, and updates on the College’s asbestos abatement project. Of note for future reference are the proposed real estate development files from 2004, which were (as of 2017) never implemented.
Series II: Committees consists of one year (2000-2001) of meeting minutes and other notes from the Programming Committee regarding College lectures and events.
Series III: Programs (1996-2008) makes up the bulk of the collection. The programs have been organized alphabetically by name into subseries, and then chronologically. Some lectures were not identifiable as being part of a specific program or lecture series and are organized under the subseries “Lectures.” Most program files include planning documents, including email correspondence; event pamphlets; advertising materials; speakers’ curriculum vitae; and photographs. Series III well represents part of the educational public face of the College, and the programs which support its mission to “advance the cause of health while upholding the ideals and heritage of medicine.” This series also contains approximately 30 cassette tapes of various College lectures (1998-2006), including the lecture by then-Surgeon General C. Everett Koop in 2003. It should be noted that the College may not have the machine necessary to play back the cassettes without advanced notice.
