Durham University's Stockton Campus was opened in October 1992 in purpose-built accommodation in Thornaby, Stockton-on-Tees, as a joint venture with the University of Teesside. It had been incorporated as the Joint University College on Teesside
on 7 February 1992, which was changed to University College Stockton-on-Tees on 16 November 1992. It initially offered joint qualifications of the Universities of Durham and Teesside. In 1994, Durham assumed full sole responsibility for the campus.
It was renamed Queen's Campus in honour of Queen Elizabeth II's Golden Jubilee in 2002 on the campus's 10th anniversary. Two residential colleges were established there in 2001: John Snow College and George Stephenson College. In 2007, the subjects
on offer in Stockton were Applied Psychology, Biomedical Sciences, Business and Business Finance, Human Sciences, Medicine and Teacher Training. Stockton is also the home of the Wolfson Research Institute for research into health, medicine and the
environment.
Minutes and papers of the campus's governing body (Board of Governors/Development Board), its academic council and various committees.
Transferred at various times since 2004.
Always held by the university.
There is restricted access to administrative records less than 30 years old, with some further restrictions, generally as noted, on records less than 80 years old where the Data Protection Act applies.
Permission to make any published use of material from the collection must be sought in advance from the Sub-Librarian, Special Collections (e-mail PG.Library@durham.ac.uk) and, where appropriate, from the copyright owner. The Library will assist
where possible with identifying copyright owners, but responsibility for ensuring copyright clearance rests with the user of the material
Arranged by committee.
Some accessions are appraised on site before transfer, others are appraised when received at Palace Green. Clean duplicates are generally removed.
Continuous further accruals are anticipated. In April 2004, a retention schedule and other records management procedures were developed for the university's records to facilitate the regular transfer of records from the university's departments
and offices to the archive. This draft retention schedule was developed further on the appoitment of the first university records manager in August 2006.
Much about the Stockton development is also to be found in the central records of the university, such as Senate minutes and University Office files. Photographs of the development are to be found in the audiovisual collections of the Development
Office.
