Overview and metadata sections
The Curriculum and Lecture Notes Collection was created by the University Archives in the 1950s to assemble individual manuscripts and small groupings of archival material relating to courses taught at the University of Pennsylvania throughout its entire history.
This collection documents the teaching methods used in the various schools of the University of Pennsylvania throughout its history. The collection is in many different formats such as letter and legal size documents, volumes, various sizes of index cards, and a handful of some oversized blueprints.
The bulk of the collection is in the Individual Students series. This series consists of lecture notes, syllabi, term papers and essays, exams, and other miscellaneous student-generated work. In instances where it was not possible to attribute the material to a specific student, the material was placed in the Unknown Students series. The series University Faculty consists of material similar to the student material, although as the name implies it was generated by various Penn faculty members. Published Course Material contains texts and other documents that were published for the purpose of use in University courses. The School and Departmental series contains syllabi, exams, and other unpublished material that was used by the various university schools and departments in the instruction of courses.
The collection is organized into six series: Individual Students, Unknown Students, University Faculty, Published Course Material, School and Departmental Material, and Miscellaneous. The materials within each series are arranged alphabetically with the exception of the oversize material which is housed in separate boxes.
The Curriculum and Lecture Notes collection was accessioned as gifts to the University in 1957, 1960, 1962, 1967, 1975, 1976, 1977, 1978, 1979, 1981, 1982, 1983, 1986, 1994, 1995, and 2002.
