Biographical History
Director of the Ernest L. Wilkinson Center
The register to this collection relates to three series of records: 1. Those produced by student organizations coordinators who functioned from 1946-1966. 2. Records produced by ASBYU Student Activities and Government offices from 1950 to present. 3. Records created by the director's office of the Wilkinson Center and Student Activities, which date back to 1940. Since the major portion of each series relates to student government and activities, it was thought best to consolidate the three series into one collection but still retain each series separately within the collection and the register. A more detailed scope note follows.
Researchers may also find additional material about student activities and government by referring to the scope note for the series titled, "ASBYU Student Activities and Government," as found in this register.
