The Archives of the College of Southern Idaho (CSI) represent a treasure trove of institutional history, systematically organized into two primary fonds. These archives document the multifaceted life of the college, preserving not only the administrative records but also the less formal, yet equally vital, aspects of campus life.
Fonds I: Administrative Records provides an in-depth look into the administrative workings of the college. Contained within this division are comprehensive records related to the College of Southern Idaho, including notes from administrative bodies, the Faculty Senate Committee, Faculty Senate Executive Committee, and President's meetings. Press releases and publications from the Marketing and Communication department also find their place here, reflecting the official voice and strategic vision of the college.
Together, Fonds I and Fonds II of the CSI Archives form a comprehensive repository that serves as both a scholarly resource and a living memory of the institution. By providing a detailed record of the administrative evolution and capturing the vibrant, informal aspects of college life, the Archives support not only historical research but also foster a sense of connection and continuity within the CSI community. It stands as a testament to the college's journey, reflecting its values, achievements, and the dynamic interplay between formal governance and the lively culture that defines the CSI experience.
The College of Southern Idaho Special Collections and Archives would like to thank the Idaho State Historical Records Advisory Board and the National Historical Publications and Records Commission (NHPRC), whose financial and advisory support have facilitated the creation of these pages and records.
