There are also collections of administrative records from departments and the offices of the college, such as the President’s Office with records relating to staff and development of curriculum etc., the Registrar’s office relating to the day-to-day business of educating students, and the Secretary’s Office which – among other subjects - details the administration of buildings and college property.

In addition, collections include records from the various student societies and clubs that were set up in the college for extracurricular activities. These records range from minutes books, to accounts, lists of members and photographs.
