Abstract:
This collection contains materials related to the selection of the campus site for the University
of California, Irvine. The collection primarily consists of correspondence between former
University of California Regent, Philip L. Boyd and parties interested in or participating in the
selection of the Irvine campus site. Correspondence spans the initial search for a site in 1958 to the development of specific buildings and the development of a curriculum for the new campus in 1964.
Correspondents include members of the California legislature, local business community leaders,
University Regents, members of the Irvine Company, and California Governor Edmund Brown. Also
included are photographs documenting the signing of the site selection agreement and aerial
photographs of the proposed site. This collection also contains a site selection status report published
in 1958 that details campus site searches for the Southern California Metropolitan Center Section
(Irvine) and the Southern Cross Section (San Diego).
