History notes:

The Department of Architecture at the University of Pennsylvania was part of the Towne Scientific School until 1920, when a separate School of Fine Arts was established, teaching architecture and other fine arts. Teaching staff and courses of instruction of the Towne Scientific School, Department of Architecture were listed in the Catalogue of the University of Pennsylvania. The School of Fine Arts published its teaching staff, regulations, courses of study, competitons and, in some years, current students in the annual University of Pennsylvania Bulletin, School of Fine Arts Announcement. The word "Announcement" ceased to be part of the title in 1951. In 1958 the name of the School was changed to the Graduate School of Fine Arts and annual catalogs were thereafter published under the title University of Pennsylvania Bulletin, Graduate School of Fine Arts.

In 1919 Edward Bushnell was appointed publicity agent for the University of Pennsylvania. His appointment began a long and expanding effort at public relations at the University. In 1954 the Department of Public Relations expanded its work to include two new units, Motion Picture Services and the Office of Radio and Television. These two offices operated until 1975 when they were phased out of a stream-lined department.

The majority of the University Scrapbook Collection was created by George E. Nietzsche at the beginning of the twentieth century in his capacity as Publicity Agent and later Recorder of the University of Pennsylvania. Nietzsche became the head of the Bureau of Publicity in 1904 and was created Recorder in 1912, a position he held into the 1940s. The scrapbooks that Nietzsche assembled eventually became part of the Memorial Library of Publications of the University of Pennsylvania and Her Sons which was established in 1907 which later formed a core portion to the University Archives in 1945.
