Accession 1991.36; 1991.52; 1992.39; 1993.20; 2012.03; 2014.038; 2014.040; 2014.060; 2014.085; 2015.024; 2015.035; 2016.078; 2019.014. The materials in the Buildings collection came to the Archives from at least five sources. The greatest proportion were part of the Vincentian administrators' collection (Accession 1990.40), mostly comprising the papers of Rev. Comerford J. O'Malley, C.M., President of the University from 1944-1964. This Vincentian collection also contained records from the Revs. John R. Cortelyou (President, 1964-1981), Edward J. Kammer, Theodore J. Wangler, Albert L. Dundas, and Daniel J. McHugh, C.M. Earlier acquisitions of materials were given to the Archives by Rev. Patrick Mullins, C.M., and included materials collected or written by Rev. Daniel McHugh, C.M., former university archivist. Information on the College Theatre was compiled by Dr. Sally Chappell of the Department of Art, and historical references to the 64 E. Lake St. building were collected by student Kevin Lee Sarring. Archives staff prepared chronologies of buildings and copies of information in the DePaulian and other university publications. Records pertaining to property acquisitions during the 1980s and 1990s were extracted from the files of the Vice-President for Business and Finance. In 2016, materials related to the Ray Meyer Fitness and Recreation Center were removed from Series 004 to form their own collection associated with the building (DPUA0084).
