Records of the Chief Marshal of the University include correspondence, floor plans, programs, and planning materials related to University commencement exercises. Since all of the papers have been filed chronologically by commencement date, they form only one series entitled, Commencement Papers, spanning the years 1914-present. This collection is ongoing and more accessions may be expected.

Since 2001 commencement ceremonies have been recorded. They exist as VHS cassettes and more recently as DVDs.
