The chief governing body of the university for academic matters has always been its Senate, set up by statute in 1835. Also set up then was Convocation which confirmed or rejected Senate's actions but came mainly to deal with the conferment of
degrees. The 1909 statutes established a Council, including outside representation, for the Durham Colleges to oversee their administration. The 1937 statutes established a Court for the whole then formally federal university to oversee finance and
the administration of the university's property. On the independence of Newcastle in 1963, Court ceased to exist, leaving Senate and Council as the main governing and executive bodies of the university. In the 1990s, a smaller informal grouping of
chief officers began to meet as the University Executive Committee for the more rapid transaction of immediate university business.
The work of these major bodies was already by 1900 beginning to be assisted by standing committees which proliferated after especially 1918, and which in turn spawned sub-committees, working parties and ad hoc committees. On occasion identically
titled committees answered separately to Senate and Council, and other committees answered jointly to both. To assist Senate with educational matters, a Board of Faculties was set up in 1892 which became the Academic Board in 1937. It was soon
followed by boards for each faculty, in their turn being in time assisted by sub-committees covering such as planning, higher degrees, concessions and exemptions, regulations, and specific degrees.
Minutes and agendas, with their associated reports and other submitted papers, of the major governing bodies of the university, principally Senate (from 1836), Court (1937-1963) and Council (from 1910), and their various (on occasion joint)
standing and ad hoc committees which have increasingly come to carry out much of the actual administration of the academic work of the university, and the administration of its estate and staff, since WW1. Included are also similar records of the
boards administering the various faculties into which the subjects taught and researched at the university have been divided over time. There are also records of some free-standing committees, some of which continued to oversee jointly functions at
Newcastle after the establishment of the independent university there in 1963. There are also a few such records of the Institute of Education from 1948 and the university's King's College in Newcastle.
Transferred to the University Library from the university's central administration at various times since the 1950s, and especially since 2004.
Almost all these records have always been held by the university, with the occasional exception which has been retrieved via local booksellers or otherwise come back into the university's custody.
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 General Data Protection Regulations apply.

Arranged into the present classification in April 2004 after consultation between M.M.N. Stansfield, M.S. McCollum and E.R. Rainey, with records of additional committees being generally added in chronological order.
A Major Committees (Senate, Convocation, Council, Court, Academic Board, Academic Electoral Assembly, University Executive 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 appointment of the first university records manager in August 2006, and then revised in 2019.
Much about the early administration of the university is also to be found in the chapter acts of Durham Cathedral to 1908 (DCD/B)
Records of committees wholly concerned with the administration of the university's operation in Newcastle prior to 1963, such as the councils of the separate colleges there to 1937 and then King's College, are now to be found in the archive of
Newcastle University.
Major CommitteesReference: UND/BASenateReference: UND/BA1Dates of creation: 1836 - 2017
The Senate initially comprised the warden, professors, proctors, registrar and 2 or 3 others. It met on a regular, usually weekly, basis. It dealt with major matters of policy about the university, its property and finances, examinations,
scholarships, and graces for students to proceed to their degrees. The minutes are usually signed by the warden or the vice-warden. Increasingly, and especially from 1884 onwards, reports and recommendations of committees set up to look at specific
matters are inserted, along with some regulations and occasional correspondence; these are all usually of a printed format, though the minutes themselves remain handwritten until 1909.
The format changed for 1910 with the minutes being printed, and with printed agendas and minutes of the Finance Committee also being consistently inserted. From 1914 the volumes are a series of guardbooks in which the agendas and minutes have
been filed. The material has a standard order within each year of agendas (often incorporating reports and proposed syllabuses), signed minutes, an index to the minutes (which have a running pagination), minutes of the finance committee with the
annual schedule of stipends and periodical payments and then other reports and addresses. All are printed. Senate was now meeting once a month during term time, alternating in location between Durham and Newcastle. The Finance Committee also met
monthly during term, but always in Durham.
In November 1938, the format changed again with the volumes, now bound in dark blue buckram, containing only the signed minutes of Senate, with annual (academic years) indexes at the end. The individual items in the minutes have a running annual
number, to which the indexes refer; the minutes of each meeting are paginated separately. Increasingly, typescript or printed reports or appendices are inserted. Meetings were still generally held monthly, alternately between Durham and Newcastle
until 1963.
Senate is the governing body of the university in all academic matters. Among other things it recommends to Council the establishment of new academic posts and considers appointments. It regulates admissions and fees, fellowships and
scholarships, examinations, the awarding of degrees, and the discipline of the university. Members of Senate now include the vice-chancellor, pro-vice-chancellors, deans, heads of colleges and departments, and other members of staff nominated by the
Academic Electoral Assembly.
By 2019, it was being supported by a Senate Agenda Setting Committee

ConvocationReference: UND/BA2Dates of creation: 1836 - 1957
The University's Convocation was established, like the Senate, by the Durham dean and chapter's statutes of 1835. It was presided over by the warden, who had a veto, and comprised the doctors and MAs of the university. It confirmed and approved,
or rejected, regulations and other measures, appointments, especially of proctors and examiners, and the number of terms and examinations for degrees initiated by Senate, but it could not originate nor amend them. Its main business however was the
conferring of degrees and it had little real influence in the governance of the university. This is reflected in its minutes which, by the twentieth century have become almost exclusively lists of those awarded degrees.
Convocations were initially held in Bishop Cosin's Library. As the University grew, the conferring of degrees by Convocation was moved to the hall of the Castle in 1885. Separate Convocations were started in Newcastle in 1923 and the ceremony in
Durham finally moved to the Cathedral in 2003. The main ceremony was in June each year, but a considerable number of degrees were also awarded in December, with rather lesser numbers at other times of the year as well.

CouncilReference: UND/BA3Dates of creation: 1910 - 2017
The statutes of 1909 established a Council for the Durham Colleges division of the University. It was to have control of the property and government of the Durham Colleges and its consent would be required by Senate for any regulations affecting
the Durham Colleges; it in effect took over many of the powers of the old warden and Senate. Its membership included the dean and chapter, the heads of houses, professors, the treasurer and representatives of the teaching staff, Senate, Convocation
and co-opted members. Its approximately fortnightly meetings during term dealt with appointments, estates and property, scholarships, syllabuses, students' terms and a wide variety of administrative matters concerning the running of the Durham
Colleges.
By 2020, it was well established as the governing and executive body of the university, setting the strategic direction of the university for the custody, control and disposition of all its property and finance, reviewing the work of the
university, advancing the interests of the university, and maintaining its efficiency and encouraging the prosecution of learning and research in the university. The chairman of Council is appointed from among its members and is not employed by the
university. The chairman serves for three years.
The volumes of typescript (printed from 1952) minutes have reports, papers and other minutes incorporated in them, some on a regular basis such as the Colleges' annual accounts, the printed report of the director of the University Observatory
(especially in the 1930s), annual reports of individual colleges, departments and the library (1940s especially), minutes of the Academic Board (1940s especially). From the mid-1950s very few annual reports and other minutes are filed with the
minutes. Each volume has a manuscript subject index to its contents. The minutes are initially foliated within each volume, with the inserted papers and reports being given a number for the whole report within that sequence. By the later 1930s, the
individual entries in the minutes are numbered consecutively throughout the academic year.
Minutes for 1963-1990 deposited by the Chief Clerk 23 January 2007, Acc No Misc.2006/2007:36.

The Court for the university of Durham was established by the statutes of 1937. It was to comprise the chancellor, vice-chancellor, pro-vice-chancellors, the deans of Durham and Medicine, the treasurer, and members appointed by the Crown in
Council, Senate, the Councils of the Durham and Newcastle divisions, the County Councils of Durham and Northumberland, Newcastle City Council, and co-opted members. It was to have the custody, control and disposition of the university's property,
and control of the university's finances, taking into consideration recommendations and reports of Senate. Its powers were to include allocating the University's funds, fixing fees, making grants to the Councils, instituting, abolishing, appointing
and fixing the salaries of professors and readers, appointing administrative staff and proctors (if necessary), prescribing the form of accounts and budgets, and the dates of terms. It met approximately monthly during term, alternately in Durham and

Board of Faculties and Durham Colleges Academic BoardReference: UND/BA5Dates of creation: 1900 - 1963
A Board of Faculties for the university was set up in 1892 to advise Senate on educational matters. Its members were the professors, tutors and lecturers in the various faculties in Durham and Newcastle. Minutes only survive from 1900, being
manuscript volumes with printed agendas inserted.
It had a Board of Studies as its executive committee comprising two members appointed by Senate and two by each faculty. It made recommendations to Senate with regard to curriculum, examinations, and educational work, and made reports to the
Board of Faculties at least twice a year.
The 1937 statutes established Academic Boards for the Durham and Newcastle divisions. Durham's comprised the warden and dean of Durham, the heads of houses, professors and readers engaged on teaching, representatives of other teaching staff and
Council nominees of other holders of academic posts. It dealt with academic matters, such as the appointments of lecturers and examiners, awards of fellowships and scholarships, in many cases making recommendations for the approval of the Council of
Durham Colleges.
The typescript minutes are filed in spring-back binders. Individual entries are numbered consecutively throughout a volume, with a manuscript index at the back. So many reports, annual reports of departments, draft statutes and other papers were
inserted that one academic year is spread over 3 volumes by 1962/1963.

Academic Electoral AssemblyReference: UND/BA6Dates of creation: 1968 - 1991
All full-time academic staff of the university are members of the Academic Electoral Assembly, established in 1968, with the facility to nominate members to appropriate vacancies on Senate or Council and to discuss any matter of interest to the
university and make representations thereby to other statutory bodies as appropriate. At the same time, a standing committee was established to prepare the Assembly's agendas.
By 2020, the Assembly consisted of all members of staff performing academic or academic-related roles (normally taken to mean staff on Grade 7 or above), with the exception of ex officio members of Senate, together with the Senior Tutor (or one
tutor of equivalent rank) from each of the Recognised Colleges or Licensed Halls of Residence. Business comprised: minutes; business arising out of the minutes; any business required by the statutes, regulations or standing orders; business, if any,
remaining from the last meeting; references and reports from the Senate or from any other statutory body; other items of business of which notice shall appear on the agenda paper.

Vice-Chancellor's Group/University Executive Committee (UEC)Reference: UND/BA7Dates of creation: 1991 - 2017
The Vice-Chancellor's Group was a meeting of the senior officers of the university, principally the vice-chancellor, the PVCs, treasurer, director of Estates and Buildings, registrar, that met regularly, initially weekly but gradually less
frequently, to oversee the practicalities of running the university. It had become the University Executive Committee by 2002. By 2020, its role was to: oversee the delivery of the university's strategy; monitor the achievement of the University's
objectives; consider and make recommendations to Senate and Council on policy initiatives and other matters; take ownership and management responsibility for key risks, and coordinate the university's integrated planning and budgeting process;
approve annual plans; and recommend the annual budget and financial forecasts to Finance Committee. UEC is a joint committee of Senate and Council and reports to these bodies on a regular basis. The secretary of the committee is the University
Secretary. By 2019 its meetings were designated as business, blue skies or strategy, and it had a sub-committee of an Operations Board (BB148).

Provost's BoardReference: UND/BA8
The start of September 2019 saw the first meetings of the newly established Provost's Board (PB). Comprising the senior academic leaders of the University, and with a student representative from DSU, the PB is charged with supporting the delivery
of the University academic strategy, and reports to the University Executive Committee and Senate (see link for membership and terms of reference). The PB will provide updates on strategic matters – such as recruitment, progression, and issues
relating to equality, diversity and inclusion (EDI) – via the Provost Office website.

Standing (including joint) committees, and their sub-committeesReference: UND/BB
Often the reports or papers produced by these committees are to be found either filed with or even incorporated into the minutes of the higher level committee or governing body. The minutes of the committee may record this and so for a full
record of their business both these minutes and those of the higher level body may need to be examined.
Durham University's main governing bodies of Senate, Council, Court and even Convocation carried out much of their business through committees. Some of these were standing, others
ad hoc; some reported to one of these
bodies, others were jointly answerable, and others had their allegiance changed over time. These committees might also themselves have sub-committees, some of which could be long-standing and others quite ephemeral.
In 2020, the extant committees were:
Senate: Education Committee with sub-committees of Access and Admissions, Faculty Education Committees, Quality and Standards, Research Degrees, and Teaching and Learning; Research Committee with sub-committees of REF Strategy and Research
Management; Senate Academic Appeals Committee; Senate Agenda Setting Committee; Senate Discipline Committee; Wider Student Experience Committee with sub-committees of Development and Communities and Support and Wellbeing.
Council: Audit and Risk Committee; Council Student Appeals Committee; Finance Committee; Governance and Nominations Committee; Remuneration Committee; University Strategy Implementation Committee.
Joint Committees of Senate and Council: Ethics Advisory Committee; Operations Board; Provost's Board; University Academic Promotion Committee; University Executive Committee.
The minutes here are organised generally chronologically by committee, noting changes of name, function and allegiance where this has been discovered.
Estates CommitteeReference: UND/BB1Dates of creation: 1893 - 1958
An Estates committee was set up in 1893. Its initial remit from Senate was to examine and report on all sales and leases of university property, to examine and authorise all repairs and to acquaint istelf with the condition of university
property, with further secific provisos concerning the South Shields property. It met weekly/fortnightly during term time, with its proposals/actions being approved or otherwise by Senate.
The Council of the Durham Colleges had an Estates and Finance committee reporting to it from its first minuted meetings early in 1910. A report of 10 May 1910, accepted by Council, recommended establishing an Estates committee as a standing
committee (perhaps so called, despite its brief, to distinguish it from the Senate Finance standing committee, for which see below). Its remit was to deal with the acquisition and disposal, maintenance and letting of Council property, to oversee the
investments, income, expenditure and accounts of Council, and
“to advise Council generally in matters of estates and finance”. It was to comprise the president of Council, the treasurer of the Durham Colleges and others elected by Council. It was to meet before Council
meetings, to which it was to report, and it was also given licence to take any urgent decisions as necessary over the summer vacation.
It continued as a standing committee of Council until 1984 when it was amalgamated with the Buildings committee to become Estates and Buildings.

Treasurer's/Finance and General Purposes/Finance CommitteeReference: UND/BB3Dates of creation: 1938 - 1963, 2011 - 2017
An Estates and Finance standing committee of Senate was set up in 1900. In 1912 its title was simplified to just Finance. On the reorganisation of the university in 1937, this became the Treasurer's Committee of Court. On 17 March 1953, the
Chairman's Committee of Court was amalgamated with this Treasurer's Committee to become the Finance and General Purposes standing committee of Court, with a remit to advise Court on the exercise of its powers under Statute 11 subsections 2 and 5 and
on matters arising from the operation of Statutes 32 and 35, and also to submit to Court estimates of expenditure and administer funds allocated by Court.
Minutes in this sequence only survive from 1938, but for earlier reports, see the relevant minutes of Senate.
Each volume has minutes, which are foliated, with in addition reports and estimates/accounts inserted, and an index.
The Finance and General Purposes Committee became just the Finance Committee in November 2016. Its business concerned (in 2020): financial strategy; investment and borrowing; estates and project;, intellectual property, subsidiary companies and
major collaborations; endowments and fund raising.

Matriculation CommitteeReference: UND/BB6Dates of creation: 1938 - 1985
A Matriculation Board had been extant from 1910 to 1928, overseeing the matriculation of students to Durham University. On 1 November 1938 a Senate committee on matriculation was set up which recommended, approved by Senate on 7 March 1939, the
establishment of a Matriculation Board to oversee the regulation and control of the conditions qualifying for matriculation. The board first met on 7 June 1939. In 1956 the Matriculation and School Examinations Board was set up with its own
Matriculation Committee. In 1963, the committee's role was defined as to advise Senate on the matriculation regulations and to grant exemptions from those regulations to individuals. In February 1970 it became the Matriculations and Admissions
Committee with its remit widened to include advising Senate on the administrative procedures for undergraduate admissions. This role was taken over by the Senate's Regulations Committee in 1985 when this committee ceased to exist.

Research CommitteeReference: UND/BB28Dates of creation: 1985 - 1998
The files comprise the minutes of the committee, correspondence, reports and (mostly) applications from staff covering all types of research.
Following the 1983 review of the internal government of the university (see BB20 above), three major new joint committees of Senate and Council were established for research, policy and resources. The Research Committee was responsible for
identifying the needs and availability of resources for research and for reporting annually on the implementation of the university's research policy. It had sub-committees for sabbatical leave, staff travel and research, and research awards (see
BB26 above), and also CORD from 1987 (see BB57 below) after subsuming the Research Foundation Committee in that year. In May 1987 it was renamed the Research and Initiatives Committee, but reverted to being the Research Committee on 9 November 1993
when the Teaching and Learning Committee was established with a budget for teaching initiatives. The Research Committee was then confined to research initiatives and research matters in general, holding separate meetings to consider reports and
other matters, applications for special equipment, books and projects, and applications for foundation fellowships.
By 2019, the Research Committee's scope was: to be directly responsible for all staff research, funded research and for the broader research environment for student research; on quality and standards to advise UEC, Senate and Council on the
University’s compliance with regulatory requirements and on its performance, inter alia, against relevant concordats and the Research Excellence Framework; on research degrees to monitor the environment, experience and outcomes of research students
not reserved to Education Committee. It had sub-committees for REF Strategy and Research Management.

Nominating Committee of Senate/Joint Senate and Council Nomnating Committee/Joint Appointments Committee/Council's Nominations Committee/Governance and Nominations CommitteeReference: UND/BB14Dates of creation: 1953 - 2017
The Nominating Comittee was originally a standing committee of Senate set up in 1917 to nominate university representatives to the boards of governors of secondary schools. On 14 June 1938 its remit was broadened to making recommendations to
Senate about members and terms of reference of Senate committees, and nominating representatives of Durham university on other bodies for appointment by Senate. Council's Nominating Committee (see BB58 below) was merged with it in 1988 to make it a
joint standing committee of Council and Senate. In 2002/3 it was reviewed along with Council's Special Nominating Committee (BB125) which was then extant. The latter survived the review and became Council's Nominations Committee in 2006/7 and, by
2019, Governance and Nominations Committee.
By 2019, it met termly: to keep under review and advise Council on the University's governance arrangements, ensuring the University pursues good practice, and complies with external governance requirements; to advise Council on all matters
relating to the process for the appointment of Council members and their induction, mentoring, development and appraisal; to recommend the appointment of new Council members, the Chair and Vice-Chairs of Council, and chairs and members of Council's
committees; to consider the detailed Equality, Diversity and Inclusion performance of the University and that all University Committees support and promote EDI through their activities.

Policy/Policy and Resources/Strategy/Strategy Implementation CommitteeReference: UND/BB31Dates of creation: 1984 - 2003
The files comprise minutes, with associated papers and reports, and minutes of other relevant committees.
A Policy Committee was set up as a joint standing committee of Senate and Council in February 1984 to consider a broad strategy for the future of the university. It was to observe the changing social and economic environment outside the
university and to improve the university's understanding of the implications of those changes for the university's work, to identify and study specific issues and options within the university, and to develop techniques which would assist in
strategic thinking. It became the Policy and Resources Committee in October 1993 and was then reinvented as the Strategy Committee on 1 October 1999 with a brief to develop and keep under review the University Strategy and to consider and make
recommendations to Senate and Council on important policy initiatives.
By 2019, as the University Strategy Implementation Committee, it was to provide strategic oversight and scrutiny of progress in implementing the University Strategy 2017-2027, in particular its key strategic projects, where such oversight and
scrutiny did not already fall within the remits of other Council Committees (e.g. Finance and Audit). The Committee receives progress reports on behalf of Council, from the Executive and Project Boards on implementation of the overall University
Strategy and strategic projects as against targets, key performance indicators (KPIs) and timelines. The Committee has no decision making powers, and is a scrutiny rather than policy-making body, reporting to Council.

The board of the faculty of Science was established in 1905, but minutes only survive from 1938. (3 earlier volumes appear to be lost as the index to the present vol.6 is titled as the index to vol.9.) In 1960 a sub-faculty of Applied Physics was
set up. In 1962, with the new University of Newcastle imminent, a Durham sub-faculty, or a Board for just Durham members, was set up to prepare for the 1963 split, and the sub-committees of Higher Degrees, Concessions, and Exemptions were also
similarly to be run thence on a divisional basis.
The minutes include also papers for the meetings and, from 1963 to 1972 agendas. Most of the minutes have indexes for each file up to 1980. Most of the files from 1972 to 1987 begin with the constitution/standing orders for the board. The Board's
papers include minutes of its various committees until 1994.

Science Exemptions/Concessions CommitteeReference: UND/BD11/CDates of creation: 1953 - 1993
A standing committee for exemptions was extant in 1938, but separate exemption committees were set up for the Durham and Newcastle divisions of the Science Faculty on 22 October 1952. In addition, separate Concessions Committees for the Durham
and Newcastle divisions of the Science Faculty operated prior to 1963. By August 1965, the work of the Exemptions Committee seems to have been subsumed in that of the Concessions Committee, which on 13 June 1972 was retitled as the Concessions and
Academic Progress Committee. It became the Concessions and Appeals Committee in September 1991 following a review of appeals procedure by Senate and Council.

Science Planning CommitteeReference: UND/BD11/EDates of creation: 1980 - 2002
This began as the Quinquennial Review Committee, and was retitled as the Faculty Planning Committee on 25 January 1984. In November 1993 it was transferred, with all faculty planning committees, to become the Science Area Planning Sub-Committee,
soon just Committee, of the new Policy and Resources Committee. Then in November 1999 it was transferred again to become a sub-committee of the Resource Planning Group.
This Planning Committee recommended that standing orders for a sub-committee be approved but not implemented on 6 November 1986. This sub-committee was then given specific tasks concerning the allocation of accommodation on the Science Site and
central workshop facilities on 28 January 1987.
The Planning Committee of 6 February 1986 established a Sub-Committee on Biological/Life Sciences to report on possible courses of action regarding the future of the departments of Botany, Pyschology and Zoology.
