The papers in this sub-collection are those retained by Gordon Tilsley after the formal establishment of UEA and both precede and complement the University records. Their present order has been determined largely by the use to which they were put when Mr Tilsley was preparing an account of the foundation of UEA at the request of Professor Jimmy Jones (the document in File UEA/TIL/11).
The files include minutes, memoranda, correspondence and MS notes.
