From its inception in the early 1960s, UCI's Public Affairs Office collected printed news clippings from various publications in an effort to document appearances of UCI in the news. The clippings in this collection were originally mounted on 8-1/2 x 11 inch paper and kept in loose-leaf notebooks. After the clippings were microfiched, the originals were discarded, with the exception of clippings from 1954-1965. The discoloration of 1954-1965 news clippings prevented the creation of high-quality microfiche images; therefore, the originals were kept for reference. Beginning in 1996 the Communications Office, one of the successors of the Public Affairs Office, assembled packets of news articles and named them "UCI Daily Clippings." The Communications Office distributed printed versions of "UCI Daily Clippings" through campus mail from 1996 until September 2000 and began to distribute them via electronic mail as early as 1998. Some "UCI Daily Clippings" were also made available online beginning in 1998. As of 2008, University Communications posts links to various publications on their Web page "UCI in the News" (http://today.uci.edu/NEWS/uciinthenews.asp).
