The Chancellor is UC San Diego's chief administrative officer and has general authority across the university. They are responsible for establishing UC San Diego's administrative structure and ensuring that it functions responsibly and efficiently.
In 1972, the Office of the Chancellor created a central filing system that was to collect records from various administrative offices. This central filing system became what is now Policy and Records Administration (formerly called Administrative Records). This office was later transferred from the Chancellor's Office to the office of the Vice-Chancellor for Resource Management and Planning (formerly the Vice-Chancellor for Administration).
Originally, the files of Policy and Records Administration contained materials from the offices of the Chancellor, Vice-Chancellor for Administration, Associate Vice-Chancellor for Business Management, Vice-Chancellor for Financial Management, and selected files from the Vice-Chancellor for Academic Affairs. Currently, Policy and Records Administration collects records from the offices of the Chancellor, Associate Vice-Chancellor for Business Affairs, and selected records from the Vice-Chancellor for Administration and the Vice-Chancellor for Academic Affairs. It is important to note that these titles have changed over time.
Chancellors to date have been: Herbert F. York (Founding Chancellor, 1960-1964; Acting Chancellor, 1970-1972), John S. Galbraith (Second Chancellor, 1964-1968), William J. McGill (Third Chancellor, 1968-1970), William D. McElroy (Fourth Chancellor, 1972-1980), Richard C. Atkinson (Fifth Chancellor, 1980-1995), Marjorie C. Caserio (Interim Chancellor, 1995-1996), Robert C. Dynes (Sixth Chancellor, 1996-2003), Marsha Chandler (Acting Chancellor, 2003-2004), Marye Anne Fox (Seventh Chancellor, 2004-2012), and Pradeep Khosla (Eighth Chancellor, 2012-present).

The Office of the Chancellor's Subject Files are an accumulation of records from the Office of Policy and Records Administration (formerly Administrative Records). Materials from different offices are interfiled into these subject files, generally in chronological order.
The Subject Files document the administrative decisions that have directed the development of UC San Diego and evidence the activities of individual departments and other units of campus operation. The files include incoming correspondence, copies of some outgoing correspondence, memos, notes, and other materials pertaining to a given subject. Subjects include system-wide administration, the building of the campus, development of academic programs, the activities of individual departments and institutes, fund raising, campus-community relations, student affairs, current events concerning the campus, and committees at the campus and systemwide levels.
Materials are arranged following the numbered filing system established by Policy and Records Administration.
