This collection consists of just over 1,200 titles that include a variety of publications such as brochures, booklets, leaflets, reports, and newsletters. The publication years are from approximately 1962 to the mid-1990s. The majority of these publications are directed to students enrolled in degree seeking programs at Florida Atlantic University but it also includes material directed at the non-traditional student such as the older non-degree seeking student, and those taking professional seminars or workshops.

This collection documents student life at Florida Atlantic University from the 1960s to the early 2000s. The bulk of the collection is predominately from the 1980s, with other boxes of photographs of FAU staff, alumni, and other FAU people ranging from the 1960s to 2000s. Many photographs show students in class, on the many patios and gardens of the campus, in the cafeteria, in their dorms, and in many other college life activities. Most of the photographs are staged and taken by FAU photographers for creative marketing purposes. In 2018, the Students 1960s Photograph Collection was consolidated into this collection. Those boxes were added into the current collection and updated. As of 2018, boxes 1 through 3 in this collection contain materials from the Students 1960s Photograph Collection.
