Series consists of all publications issued by the Library from 1802 to 2006. The Library issued publications as part of its fund-raising initiatives and the campaign for the new Library building. Some of the brochures are specific to particular sections of the Library, such as the Archives and Special Collections. The Library has also published general information for Library users and visitors. Two 19th-century documents about the history of the library were sent to prospective benefactors in England. Most of the records in the series are brochures for publicity and fund raising. The publications span the history of the library and include histories published by the College in 1802 and 1874.

University of King's College Board of GovernorsThe records in the fonds were created, collected, or used by Rev. Dr. Robert Crouse.
The majority of these records pertain to Crouse’s life as a theologian and as an educator. The records cover Crouse’s lectures (with particular interest in Dante and Augustine), syllabi and course outlines, sermons, research, parochial records, university communications (Dalhousie and King’s), committee minutes (Dalhousie and King’s), music, personal and work correspondence, photographs, books, floppy discs, cassettes, and memorabilia. These records reflect Crouse’s roots at King’s, as well as his experiences in other countries, namely the United States and Italy.

University of King's College Library Special CollectionsThe student records series is the largest series of records in the Archives. The series consists of the individual academic records of students who matriculated at the University of King's College between 1886 and 2009. The records before 1922 relate to the University's campus in Windsor, Nova Scotia, while records after that date were created at the University's Halifax location .
The student records were generated by the Registrar's Office staff, who create a file folder for each student who applies to King's. If the student subsequently enrolls, the file is maintained through the student's academic career at the University, recording the student's academic activities and progress. Correspondence from a prospective student who later registered enrolled is filed in that person's student record in this series, not in the Registrar's Office correspondence series. If the student is not accepted or does not enroll, the file is kept for one year in case the student reapplies.
During the processing of the student records, attempts were made to resolve ambiguities in student names and dates. A few of the student records show no evidence that the student ever completed enrolment or took a class at King's, or else the student enrolled and started classes a year or more later. In those cases, the record is filed with the year the student started taking classes, if that can be determined. If it cannot, then the record is filed according to the year the identification number was issued.
There are many gaps in the student records holdings in the Archives. The first student record is from 1886, and for the next two decades, there are no more than three records per year. At times, the policy was to destroy student records after the student left King's; for several years in the 1980s, the only remaining record of a student is a Kardex card (13 cm x 20 cm), with courses typed on it, grades, awards and degrees noted, and usually a small photograph of the student stapled on the lower right corner of the card.
