It is known from the earliest surviving list of the University's muniments, compiled in 1420, that such records were then housed in the vestry of the chapel above the Regent House. This list was probably drawn up by the University treasurer, known as a Proctor. From 1506, when the office was created, until 1977, the University's records were the responsibility of the Registrary [sic]. Major advances in systematic record-keeping - consolidating, sorting and listing - were made during the registraryships of Lynford Caryl in the mid 18th century and Joseph Romilly, Henry Richards Luard and John Willis Clark from the mid to late 19th century. In 1972, the archives were transferred from the Registry to the University Library. They were fully integrated into its holdings in 1977. Records are now regularly transferred from the offices and divisions of the central administration, and from the schools, faculties, departments, research institutions and Press. The majority of University Archives are permanent transfers from the orginating department or division within Cambridge University. Others are gifts from student societies, alumni or College archivists.
