Records relating to the financial committees at the University.

Over the decades, the Board· of Governors has struck many committees.

Others are standing committees that have existed for years, such as the Nominations Committee and the Property, Grounds, and Safety Committee.

The series spans two centuries through which committees have had various roles relating to the Library.
