Collection Overview
- Scope and Content
- This collection consists of paper materials, digital photographs, photographic prints, plans, diagrams, and artifacts pertaining to the Main/Administration Building of the University of Kentucky. The Main / Administration Building was built in 1882 making it the oldest building on campus. It has undergone many changes in function as well as appearance over the years. On May 15, 2001 a major fire destroyed the roof and top two floor of the building and the bottom floors were severely water damaged. In response to the fire, the building was gutted with the exterior walls remaining in tact. A preservation project was begun to document the rebuilding of the interior and gather architecturally significant artifacts. This collection is divided into twelve series and fifty-one sub-series. The series in this collection are: artifacts; budget; correspondence; facsimiles; history; meeting minutes; miscellaneous; notes; photographic print; plans; wallpaper; and woodwork.

Items are described by their physical dimensions and appearance, material, location, and additional information gathered from notes written by the preservationist. The items are in many different pieces and samples that appear different but are from the same room number are denoted by letters. Many of the materials in this series probably date back to the 1882 construction of the Main / Administration Building. Many of the plaster samples have horse hair visible.

There are also rusted nails in many of the wooden samples.
