The Connecticut College of Pharmacy was established in 1925 in New Haven, Connecticut. In 1941, the Connecticut General Assembly enacted legislation to incorporate the College as part of the University of Connecticut. The collection contains an extensive collection of clippings (scrapbooks) concerning the program and its faculty, students and graduates in addition to historical papers, documents and reports about pharmacy and the program at the University.

Established in 1946, the School of Social Work is located on the Greater Hartford campus of the University of Connecticut. The University of Connecticut School of Social Work promotes social and economic justice by providing high quality education in social work.

In the Spring of 1969, the University of Connecticut devoted a whole semester to the study of the 1930s. An all-campus venture, the project drew on all the resources of the University and brought in distinguished visitors, some of whom had been cultural figures of that decade. Called "The Semester of the Thirties," this experiment in higher education probably brought together more aspects of a decade in cultural, political, economic, and social history than any such project undertaken by a university.

An undergraduate student government has existed at the University of Connecticut in Storrs in various forms and under different names since 1894. Originally composed of nine elected students who worked with the faculty "upon matters of government of the college." This body was reorganized in 1921 as the Student Senate. The Student Senate became the Associated Student Government (ASG) in 1933 with the adoption of a constitution. The ASG was dissolved in 1973 and was replaced by the Federation of Students and Service Organizations (FSSO). In 1980, the FSSO was replaced by the Undergraduate Student Government (USG).

Organized in February 1960, the University Club was created by the merger of two former Faculty Clubs with (dining) facilities in the new "Commons" building. It ceased to exist in the spring of 1968 when its functions were undertaken by the new Faculty-Alumni Center.

In 1971, a Commission was established to investigate proposals for University governance and report back to the University community. Dr. Albert Cohen chaired the Commission.

The scrapbooks were created by individuals and entitities associated with the University of Connecticut and maintained as a separate collection because of format requirements.
