The University Archives accessioned the first installment of the papers of Stanford O. Cazier on February 16, 1993. Subsequent installments were accessioned thereafter as processing of the first installment was completed. Processing of the papers was accomplished in May 1999. The materials accessioned into the Archives include the presidential files up to and including the academic year 1990-1991.

For the most part, the files were maintained in their original order. Publications, minutes of some meetings, as well as material duplicated in other record groups within University Archives, were removed and placed under the appropriate number within the archives. Where such has occurred, notes have been inserted in the register to guide patrons to the materials. The register is arranged chronologically and alphabetically, with each year following roughly the same order: state and federal agencies, institutional council, central administration, university departments (centrally administered), colleges and departments, and an alphabetical file, consisting of various university programs and correspondence from outside the university community.
