UMA also holds official University records that are not directly associated with University faculties and departments, such Council committees as Finance, Buildings, Professorial Board.

Researchers are encouraged to search the University of Melbourne Office of the Registrar correspondence series, a comprehensive series of documents representing a major proportion of the activities of the University's Central Administration from the establishment of the University through to 1969 and is probably the best single source of University history.

Researchers can search for individuals and departments of the University by name, as well as across years.

The collections of University administrators such as John Frederick Foster (1903-1975) and Max Ferguson also contain records of the history of the University.
