The University Communications Publications Office originally started in 1965 under the direction of External Affairs; with the Office of the President's directive to produce recruitment materials, as well as public relations, events, and service-related on-campus publications. During its early years, the office worked collaboratively with the Public Information Office. Eventually, the functions of both offices were restructured within what is now called University Communications.
The University Communications Publications Office was responsible for directing the production and development of publications and electronic material intended for campus and community-based promotion. The office served as a recharge unit for graphic design and editorial services determining the overall design direction and production of graphic art projects for the University. This included administering the production of print, electronic, and new media communication pieces on behalf of UC San Diego clients.
Overtime, there was further restructuring within University Communications and the title of "University Communications Publications Office" was retired.
The University Communication Publications Office Photograph Collection consists of prints, negatives, and slides documenting the history of UC San Diego; including photographs of campus events, buildings, aerial views, relevant subjects, and portraits of faculty, students and staff. There is overlap between the series, as related material can be found across formats.
The photograph collection is arranged in five series: 1) PRINTS, 2) SLIDES, 3) NEGATIVES, 4) PHOTOGRAPHERS, and 5) PUBLICATIONS.
