The founders of the university considered a residential college as an integral part of their scheme from the beginning. So the first students in 1833 were housed in the Archdeacon's Inn on Palace Green. In 1837 the bishop of Durham made over to
the university his Durham castle residence, dating from 1072, and the college was established there, with the keep being rebuilt to provide student accommodation in 1840. It took time for the university, or administration and teaching, and college,
or residential, functions to be distinguished. The castle gradually became established as “University College”, a body of students and teachers living in community, developing distinctive features and traditions,
though it has not been a separate corporate body apart from the university.
Charles Thorp, as warden of the university, initially had charge, until a separate master of the college was appointed after 1862. The college also had a vice-master, censor (responsible for discipline, latterly a senior tutor), bursar and
chaplain, with gyps looking after the students' needs, overseen by a butler.
Further colleges were founded in Hatfield Hall in 1846 and Cosin's Hall in 1851, both with the intention of providing cheaper alternatives for student collegiate residence. The latter took over the Archdeacon's Inn in 1856 but only lasted as an
independent entity until 1864 when it was effectively absorbed by University College, where its students had been taking their meals for a while anyway. Such records as survive for Cosin's Hall are thus part of University College's archive. Hatfield
also came under University College administration for domestic purposes from 1926 and, when it had to evacuate its buildings during the 2nd World War, it shared all facilities, a governing body and master with University College from 1940 to 1949.
So University College's records contain much material about Hatfield and its students during this period.
To ease the pressure on its accommodation, University College also took over Lumley Castle near Chester-le-Street in 1946. This was run by the vice-master with its own JCR. It necessitated detailed transport arrangements to and from Durham until
the castle was returned to the earl of Scarborough in 1970. Then additional accommodation was developed rather closer to the castle with the construction of Bailey Court and Moatside in the 1970s, with staff accommodation being provided by a Fellows
Garden Building in the early 1990s.

The records detail the administration of the college through the minutes of its council - an incomplete series - the files of its bursars and especially their accounts, with good series of student and high table battels for the 19th and 20th
centuries. Apart from the details of students to be found in those, admission registers and later student files (closed for the lifetime of students) also provide information on members of the college. The accounts, and especially supporting bills,
give much detail on the college's maintenance of its historic residence, and also its custody of the also highly significant Lumley Castle. There are also plans and files on the various works necessary to maintain and shore up the castle, and also
to maintain its accredited collection of artefacts and objects, and recording also its activities as a tourist attraction and venue for many dramatic, musical and social events. The activities of the various student bodies and clubs, especially the
JCR, are well represented and there is also a sequence of photographs of various college and sporting groups, many of the latter from the period before and after the 1st World War. These are supplemented by material which has come in from former
members of the college, which has also added some less expected aspects to the archive, such as a photograph album of an African hunting trip.
Records were deposited by the college with the university's department of Palaeography and Diplomatic (later merged with the university library) on 6 and 7 September 1972 (mostly early financial records C2/A1-11, 18, also D2/1 and a university
stipends book CG1/13/1) and 11 March 1982 (later financial records, student files, admissions registers, governing body minutes, files for Lumley castle, and group photographs); these were transferred to Palace Green Library on 30 November/1
December 1992. A further deposit was made with the Palace Green Library on 21 September 2005 (Acc No Misc.2005/2006:20) (1912 grant of arms, committee minutes, bursar's files, photos of groups, events, and hunting in Africa). Other deposits of
particular items, mainly from former members of the college, are as noted in the individual handlist entries.
October 2015 (Acc No Misc. 2015/16:52).
The 1972 and 1982 deposits had previously been separately listed under UND/C1. The college's JCR and some other clubs' records were previously listed as UND/DUS 12. With the 2005 deposit, all were resorted and numbered October 2005 - February
2006.
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 Head of 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
Some accessions are appraised on site before transfer, others are appraised when received at Palace Green Library. 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, revised in 2019.

containing students' debit and credit accounts, including battels and other sums due for such as laundry, repairs and tuition fees. The volumes are generally organised as annual accounts for each student, with some cross-referencing to the next
volume, especially in the early volumes which also generally have indexes of students. However, in the 1870s and early 1880s, accounts for all of a student's time are recorded together, hence the date overlaps of these volumes.
There are four separate sequences of these volumes, each lettered, with a volume J [1847-1848] of the second series being missing since at least 1972. The lettering is retained in the present numbering sequence.

These records are the files of two vice-masters: first, Leonard Slater, who kept his files well-ordered and numbered, and then William A. Prowse, who was not so assiduous. Their files cover the initial fitting out of Lumley Castle for student
accommodation and then its maintenance as such, the staff employed there, the frequent use of the building for courses and visits during vacations and the administration of the student population. There are also files from Prowse's time as a member
of the college's governing body.
The vice-master of the college had charge of Lumley Castle after the college's takeover of the castle to provide extra student accommodation from 1946. The considerable ongoing maintenance costs meant that Lumley was a drain on the college's
finances and the arrangement with the earl of Scarbrough was ended in the summer of 1970 when the college's students were reunited around Palace Green.
Slater formerly numbered his files (A4-12) as 1LC (for building matters) or 2LCS (for student affairs) and then a letter code; Prowse did not.

The Read and Weed Club was in existence in 1892 and possibly some time earlier but its history has not been continuous. It was dissolved and then restarted in 1922 before having to be revived again in 1929. In the 1920s, members were limited to
10, plays were read and the club also met for Sunday breakfast at the top of the keep. The club lapsed again in 1940, being reformed in January 1947 with membership limited to 8, elected by secret and unanimous ballot. It met to discuss cultural and
topical subjects.

Deposited personal collectionsReference: UND/F1/H
Records of former members of the college left to the college, or other collections presented to the college.
G.M. MacFarlane Grieve photograph collectionReference: UND/F1/H1Dates of creation: 1912 - 1914194 glass plate negatives
A collection of images of a student's recreational activities as a member of University College in Durham just before the First World War. Most of the collection features rowing on the Wear, especially the various university events such as the
Senate Cup and Trial Fours, also the annual varsity race with Edinburgh University. Images of the Henley royal regatta also feature prominently, though no Durham crews are recorded. There are some other University College and Durham Colleges
sporting groups and events, some views of Durham and environs, especially the Wear in flood, a series of images from O.T.C. camp, and a few more relaxed images of contemporaries at Durham along with a small collection of probably artistic shots.
Gavin Malcolm Macfarlane Grieve, the younger brother of A.A. Macfarlane Grieve, was a student at University College Durham from 1913 to 1916, graduating with a BA (litt. ant.) which he took on 12 December 1916. He served in the 1st Royal
Highlanders at home in 1915 and then with the 3rd Royal Highlanders in France in 1916 when he was wounded and returned home to serve in the No.2 Officers Cadet Battalion from 1917 to 1919.
Left at the Castle lodge for Richard Brickstock
“Ex Macfarlane Grive's brother” (
sic) and immediately transferred by Richard Brickstock, Castle curator, to DUL ASC 10 May 2005, Acc No Misc. 2004/2005:56.
Series A-E had been individually numbered and put into envelopes with titles on the envelopes and separate lists of the images in A and C, all possibly done by Macfarlane Grieve. These lists and the numbering show that some images have not
survived, but their numbering has been retained, albeit with the letter and number inverted. There were also 2 boxes of unnumbered and unidentified images of not obviously Durham material; some may be family but most seem to have been taken more as
artistic and compositional studies. These have now been numbered as series F and G.

K.B. Gibson papersReference: UND/F1/H3Dates of creation: 1935 - 1938 & 1945
This small collection comprises notes and correspondence of K.B. Gibson principally in his role as president of the Durham Union Society, preparing speeches and soliciting speakers for debates. There are also other items, mostly from his time at
Durham. He had also retained term cards, group photographs, programmes, posters, pamphlets and even stationery from the various organisations he was involved with in Durham; these have been placed with the records of those organisations. His college
blazer and scarf also survive, with the blazer pockets still retaining their contents from when he wore it as a student.
K.B. Gibson (scholar of University College 1934-1938, BA Hons. and D.Th.P.T.) won a classics scholarship from Hymers College Hull and gained a II.1 in his classics finals, also winning the University Classical Scholarship. He was paramount in
college and university life, being Senior Man and secretary/president of the Literary and Debating Society, Philosophic and Scientific Society, Read and Weed Club in the former, and secretary and president of the Union, president of the Students'
Representative Council and president of the Conservative Association in the latter. He also captained the Durham Colleges Cross Country Club and was vice-chairman of the Federation of University Conservative and Unionist Associations. After Durham,
he pursued a teaching career, interrupted by wartime service in the R.A.F. 1940-1945. He taught at Barnard Castle School before the war and was for many years headmaster of Farnsworth School, Bolton, after the war.

Howard mathematics notesReference: UND/F1/H10Dates of creation: 2003 - 20093 files and 1 book
Dr Adrian Howard (1950-2008, Castle 1968-1971, Mathematics and Physics) maintained an interest in mathematics throughout his adult life, spent mostly in the Netherlands, and his subsequent studies as a theologian. During the last months of his
life, he worked on his mathematical notes, coming up with some new ideas about resolving some perennial mathematical problems. Included with the notes is a commentary by Prof Vernon Armitage.
Passed on by Howard's sister to his friend and contemporary M. David Mehers (Castle 1968-1972, Physics), who passed them on to his old college; after consultation with mathematicians by Prof Maurice Tucker, the papers were added to the Castle's
archive, and received at Palace Green Library on 4 March 2009, Acc No Misc.2008/9:85.
