Archival history
This collection comprises the records of academic self-administration kept by the rector, beginning with the founding of the university (1902). It is thus the continuation of the collection of material files from the time of the Royal Academy (Collection 3). In 1970, the new university constitution created a uniform university administration which merged the former academic administration under the rector with that of the university curator (inventory 9). This office was dissolved and the stock was previously divided into two parts: The first part comprised the files from the period up to 1945, which were kept in the university archives under the old file numbers. The second part with the files from the period 1945-1970 was previously accessible via a card index and consecutively numbered. Until the end of the 1990s, these parts of the stock had the misleading designation "New University". The legacy signatures have now been replaced by a new current count, the legacy signatures are specified for each unit of distortion. This information is missing for those files which - originating from later, previously unprocessed accesses - have now been recorded for the first time.The referring remarks make no claim to completeness, rather they are intended to show cross-references in certain points.The disciplinary files were completely taken over in Bestand 3 (see above) in continuation of the tradition formation. From the beginning of the 1920s onwards, the names are no longer mentioned for reasons of data protection. For the publications published by the Rector (see Section 1.6): The personnel and lecture timetables for the period 1807-1950 are available on the "Digitale Sammlungen" website of the Münster University and State Library (http://sammlungen.ulb.uni-muenster.de/nav/classification/1643213). From 1844 to 1927, the personal directories also contained the names of the students. In addition, the printed editions published until 2009 are available and can be viewed in the University Library and in the Library of the University Archives. The personal files kept by the Rector (899 volumes) are in fonds 5 and are indexed by a database. The student files kept by the Student Secretariat are in fonds 6, 208 and 209. Further details can be found in the overview of holdings. Matriculation documents are available in the existing inventory (Section 9.2).
