Records Relating to Student Housing Services | Northern Illinois University

Originally the Deans of Men and Women administered housing services.  In 1959 they relinquished this responsibility to a Director of Housing who regulated both on and off-campus facilities. Records in this collection are organized into two series: Residence Halls and Off-Campus Housing.  The Residence Hall records include scrapbooks, regulations, manuals, and minutes of residence hall associations.  The Off-Campus housing files contain records of the Householders Association, lists of off-campus facilities, as well as guides to off-campus living..  The majority of materials in this collection date from 1950 to 1980, with the exception of Williston Hall whose materials go back to 1915.
