The Center for Archival Collections established the National Student Affairs Archives in 1982. The CAC, interested in establishing
special collections reflective of the University's strong graduate programs, began to acquire the historical records from
several professional associations involved in student affairs and higher education. Bowling Green State University's masters
level program in College Student Personnel and doctoral program in Higher Education and Student Affairs are both recognized
as among the best in the nation. Now comprising the institutional papers of numerous national, regional, and state (Ohio/Michigan)
professional associations, the private collections of several individuals who have been extremely active in the field, and
a cataloged library of books and pamphlets, the National Student Affairs Archives is used extensively by the associations, and by faculty and graduate students. The CAC is committed to actively acquiring
additional collections for this special collecting area. If you are interested in using these sources for research or if you
are interested in donating collections, please contact Ann Bowers at the CAC.
The National Student Affairs Archives is proud to be part of a larger website devoted to the history of the student affairs
profession. The Student Affairs History Project is intended for use by those with an interest in studying the student affairs profession. The website provides starting points
for projects; offers resources to help historical researchers use their time and resources well; and is meant to be a collaborative
space for those teaching, studying, and seeking understanding about the profession's past and future. The website also offers
advice on what constitutes a professional association or personal archives and what to consider when donating papers to an
archival institution.
The Student Affairs History Project was and continues to be developed by the Division of Higher Education and Student Affairs at Bowling Green State University with the support of the University Libraries and the Center for Archival Collections.
