Durham has always been a collegiate university in that most of its students have also been, and now pretty well all are, members of its constituent colleges, providing them with accommodation, welfare and extra-mural activities. It continues to
grow as a collegiate university and this collection encompasses the records of its some of its more recent college foundations. The development at Stockton on Teesside opened in 1992 as the single University College Stockton but in 2001 the two
separate colleges of John Snow and Stephenson were established there. These transferred to Durham in 2019 at the same time as a new college - South - was being developed on the Mount Oswald site in Durham. Furthermore, there are files of an
unrealised attempt to establish a college on the Howlands Farm site in the mid 1990s before this was successfully developed for Josephine Butler and Ustinov Colleges.
But there is no single, ubiquitous model for a Durham college, and this collection also comprises some records of Neville's Cross College. Founded by the county council in 1921 as a teacher training college for women, this became a licensed hall
of residence of the university in 1924 and even moved into Hatfield College's site for a while during WW2. Some of its students studied university courses until it was merged with the Durham Technical College in 1977 to become the wholly independent
New College, eventually moving to a new site at Framwellgate Moor. Its former location was derelict for a while before it was redeveloped as the home of Ustinov College in 2018.
Durham also had two affiliated colleges for almost the middle century of its existence with the already established Fourah Bay College in Sierra Leone and Codrington College in Barbados, founded in 1827 and 1745 respectively, being thus brought
into the university fold in 1876 and 1875 until they went their own way in 1967 and 1965 respectively.
Durham also had a number of associated colleges in the UK and abroad in the later 19th and earlier 20th centuries. Records of the students from these colleges who took Durham degrees are in such as the Calendars, pass lists and mark books etc,
but there are no records of the colleges themselves in the archive. A something of a successor to this, a formal relationship was established with Teikyo University of Japan in 1988 as part of the university's growing international links. This led
to accommdation for Japanese students and staff being established next to St Mary's College in 1990. There are a few records of this relationship here with more in the archive of St Mary's College.
Finally, Ushaw College, a Roman Catholic theological college established near Durham in 1808, became a licensed hall of residence of the university in 1968 until the college closed in 2010; whilst ASC now administers its archive, that is still
held at the college.
This collection includes the few records, mainly reports, transferred so far from the Colleges Office, along with small groups of records - mainly some minutes, publications, and photographs with a few artefacts, from some of the university's
newer colleges, and also from its affiliated colleges.
Most of the university's historic colleges in Durham have now transferred their archives to Palace Green Library where significant collections for University, Hatfield, St John's, St Chad's, St Cuthbert's, St Aidan's, St Mary's, Van Mildert,
Trevelyan and Hild Bede colleges are now held. The colleges' records reflect all aspects of the colleges' life from minutes of its governing bodies and other committees, to registers and files of its students, administrative and financial papers of
its officers such as the master/principal and bursar (including covering maintenance of their buildings), also minutes, accounts, photographs and ephemera of the running of their dining halls and chapels, of their common rooms (senior, middle and
junior), and of their student sports clubs and societies, with also on occasion papers of some of their senior and/or junior members, and some artefacts, principally occasional items of clothing such as ties or blazers. In addition, there are
considerable collections of deeds for the properties which became the colleges of St Chad's and Hild Bede which take the history of these significant sites in the city of Durham back into the sixteenth century. The deeds for St Chad's also cover its
advowsons held elsewhere, especially in Liverpool. Various items are also held for the following colleges: Collingwood, Grey, Josephine Butler, Neville's Cross, Ustinov, Stephenson and John Snow.
Always held in the colleges, except for occasional items donated by usually college alumni
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 (email 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. 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 reviewed in 2019.
Most of these colleges still retain their records themselves.
The archive of Codrington College is held at the Cave Hill Campus of the University of the West Indies (https://www.cavehill.uwi.edu/ARMP/campus-archives.aspx)
The archive of the former Neville's Cross College is held by its successor New College.
Durham University is a “collegiate” university. The colleges are a major part of the Durham University experience and are one of the key reasons students give for applying. Durham University's college system is
arguably the most distinctive feature of the University. Colleges are small enough to foster a strong sense of community, whilst still allowing students to enjoy all the academic and other benefits of a large University. Every student at the
University belongs to a college. They remain a member of their college throughout their time at Durham and beyond. The colleges are not teaching bodies, but they are more than just places to eat and sleep. Instead, each college is a small community
providing a wide range of activities and facilities for study, sports, the arts, socialising, relaxation and welfare.
Howlands Trust ProjectReference: UND/F2Dates of creation: 1992 - 1997
Extent: 3 metres
The papers are concerned with all aspects of the project and include management; planning and design; fundraising and promotion; internal correspondence; and internal arrangement.
Records of a project to build a new college and research institute for the university of Durham at Howlands Farm on the south of the city. A principal designate, Miss Deborah Lavin, was appointed, who managed the project, although it was never
fully realised in its original form. The deposit includes material relating to the open architectural competition for a design for the college, won by Arup Associates.
Deposited by Miss Deborah M. Lavin, principal designate, 31 July 1997, Acc No Misc.1997/98:2.
The project files followed a very structured arrangement during their active period. This is documented in Internal Arrangement (UND/F2/E1). Following transfer to the Archives, and their subsequent appraisal, these files were rearranged into
smaller themes (functions) which follow a broadly hierarchical pattern. It was felt that this would better assist researchers in finding information.
A Management
B Planning and design
C Fundraising and promotion
D Internal correspondence
E Internal arrangement
Closed for public access until 2077 under the terms of the Data Protection Act 1998.
During their active period, the project's papers were managed in line with the university's records management procedures. Consequently, some of the papers were already destroyed or transferred to a different university department prior to their
transfer to the Archives. For more detailed information on the project's retention schedule, see Internal Arrangement (UND/F2/E1). Following their transfer to the Archives, the papers were then appraised for their perceived value to researchers.
Some material was destroyed on the basis of having little long term value. These included all duplicates and a portion of the correspondence deemed insufficiently significant for retention.

John Snow CollegeReference: UND/F20Dates of creation: 2001 - 2018
John Snow College was established in Stockton in 2001. The College takes its name from the nineteenth-century Yorkshire physician Dr John Snow, regarded by many as one of the greatest of all doctors - a world-leading pioneer in anaesthesia,
epidemiology and public health, in addition to being Queen Victoria's obstetrician. The college relocated to the Howlands site in Durham from Stockton in September 2018. It was based at Rushford Court for 2019/20 and then moved to a new permanent
home at Mount Oswald in October 2020.

Neville's Cross CollegeReference: UND/F6Dates of creation: 1922 - 1958
Neville's Cross College was first mooted in 1908 but the war delayed building work and it was not until 1921 that it opened as a teacher training college for women, founded by Durham County Council. It became a licensed hall of Durham University
in 1924 with thereby some of its students studying courses at the university. It opened its doors to men in 1963. Still funded by the County Council, with university involvement, it was resdesignated as a college of education in 1969. The university
link ceased in 1977 when it merged with the Durham Technical College (founded in 1957) to become the wholly independent New College. The Education degree continued at New College until 1986. The original site of the college, sold for redevelopment
in 2002 as New College redeveloped its Framwellgate Moor site in 2004, became the site of the university's Ustinov College as Sheraton Park in 2018.
Principals:
1921-1943 Miss Zeta Gladys Day May
1943-1949 Miss Mabel Sarah Coey
1949-1958 Miss Netty Margaret Lunan
1958-1966 Miss Mary Whitley
1966-1977 Dr Robert G. Emmett
The college arms were initially a broad white cross on a dark background with intersecting letters NCC over. However this did not conform to heraldic law and so the arms were changed in 1933 when they were to first appear in the University
Calendar to the cross of St Cuthbert on a silver ground, with the Neville cross and rose in the corner. The motto remained unchanged at 'Ne Vile'.
