The Budgets series (2 linear foot) is arranged chronologically (1962-1993) and is comprised mostly of budget sheets and correspondence. The materials can be used to study projects undertaken, staffing changes, and how CRLT reacted to the budget cuts of the early 1980s. In addition, the files are one of the few sources of information on the first ten years of the center's existence. [Box 1, 15]

The records of CRLT document the administration of the unit and its programmatic activities including funding of faculty research projects. The records are divided into five series: Budgets, Correspondence, Topical, Grants, and Workshops and Seminars. The majority of the materials are from the period 1972-2004.

The Correspondence series (3 linear feet) consists of volumes of outgoing correspondence (1964; 1972-1984; "early 1980s" and 1994) arranged chronologically. Early letters are written by Stan Ericksen in his capacities as director and later, as senior research scientist. There are also letters from other CRLT staff and directors, including Drs. Kulik and McKeachie. The correspondence sheds light on major activities of the center, and the role it played in assisting other universities to set up similar centers. The researcher should note that, on occasion, copies of minutes of staff and executive committee meetings are included in the volumes of correspondence. [Box 1-2, 13]
