Series XIV: Restricted Files, 1968-1973
Series XIV: Restricted Files, 1968-1973, is arranged chronologically by series and folder title and contains sensitive information regarding administrative and faculty applications, personal addresses, contact information, student records, and letters of recommendation. For most retention schedules, applications would be disposed of after a certain number of years, however, the archivist has decided to keep these files in the restricted series because there is correspondence along with these applications that reveal relationships between Wilkes College faculty and administrators and other academic administrators and faculty members across the U.S. These applications provide historical context to the interconnectedness of the academic world in the U.S. in the late 1960s and early 1970s. The restricted items will be lifted approximately 2072.
