The Personnel subseries includes promotion reviews, correspondence, sabbatical reports, vitae, and similar materials. The Personnel files have been received in different accessions, therefore arrangement of files in this subseries is best described by accession. Materials received in different accessions are housed in ranges of boxes.

Boxes 38-44. Faculty records date from 1909 to 1989, although researchers should note that file folder dates do not necessarily represent the time period served. A group of materials dated from 1986 through 1995 in boxes 38-41 is arranged chronologically. Past faculty materials in boxes 41-44 are arranged in alphabetical order. The folders sometimes include correspondence or clippings received or filed after a faculty member left the college. Content ranges widely, from a single page for a one-semester visiting professor, to a significant collection of documents for some long time staff. In the case of the latter, there is often correspondence, a photograph, vitae, sabbatical reports, and similar items.

Personnel files housed in box 65 date 1998-2008. These files are arranged into General Files, and Faculty and Staff Files. The General Files, 1997-2008 include college statistics, comparisons with other schools and colleges of architecture and urban planning, and salary charts. The Faculty and Staff Files, 1998-2008 are arranged alphabetically by faculty surnames and include correspondence, reports, and promotion and tenure reviews. Content within each folder varies, and researchers should note that the date range listed for the Faculty and Staff files is inclusive, but not all dates are represented in the individual files.

Materials in boxes 81-87 were accessioned between 2011 and 2015. These records include alphabetically arranged faculty and staff files dated between 1930s and 2008.
