The Academic Regalia collection contains robes, hoods, and caps worn by University of Rochester administrators, faculty, students, and trustees at formal events. Descriptions of regalia include the name of the manufacturer (Cotrell and Leonard, for example) when this information is known. Each set of regalia has been assigned a number, which appears before the title of the item(s).
The Student Organization for Caribbean Awareness (SOCA) papers contain two series: Events and Awards. Within the Events series are five subseries—Caribash, Carifesta, Campaigns, Other Events, and Photographs—which contain materials such as banners, posters, flyers, and pamphlets. In the Caribash and Carifesta subseries are materials used in the planning and advertising of these two events. The Campaigns subseries contains materials on students' organized efforts to support the people of Haiti following Hurricane Matthew in 2016. There are also subseries for Other Events and Photographs, the latter showing events and activities such as potluck and game nights. Some of the photographs appear to predate SOCA and may show African and Caribbean Cultural Club (ACCC) and Black Students' Union (BSU) events.
