Records of The Linguistics Department 1963-2004

http://findingaids.library.northwestern.edu/catalog/inu-ead-nua-archon-881

The records of the Linguistics Department fill ten and one-half boxes, span the period 1963-2004, and are divided into ten different categories. The Department of linguistics grew rapidly during the second half of the twentieth century within the College of Arts and Sciences. From its origin, the department has focused its curricular offerings on applied linguistics, formal and computational linguistics, lexicography, and the languages of Africa. The administrative files of department chair Jack Berry comprise more than three-fourths of the records in this series. Most of the remaining records are from the administrative files of Judith Levi, another department chair. Many of her files pertain to undergraduate advising and the restructuring of graduate level curriculum in 1979.
