Structure of the Record Groups

The UCCS Archives organizes materials using a three-level system: record group, record sub-group and series. This archival arrangement is usually a numeric system with some collections employing additional descriptions of materials.

The UCCS Archives uses the following pattern: CS:XX / XXX / XX / Y /F (Note: Y and F used only when applicable):

CS:XX Describes the Repository (Colorado Springs) and the Primary Record Group in the form of a number:

CS:XX/XXX represents the record Sub-Group in the form of a number which is a further division of the record group into organizationally-related records. These smaller units are generally structured in the following pattern:

CS:XX/XXX/XX represents Series in the form of a number. Series describe specific document types within a Sub-Group.
