The Food Industry Development Centre was established as the result of funding by the Australian Government as part of its Key Centres of Teaching & Research Program. This was formally announced by the government on 31 May 1988 and the creation of the Centre within the Department of Food Science & Technology in the School of Applied Bioscience, Faculty of Applied Science, was formally approved at the 14 September 1988 meeting of the Vice-Chancellor's Advisory Committee. The initial director of the Centre was Professor R. B. H. Wills (file 880435). Following a government review in May 1994, it was determined that funding for the Centre would cease at the end of 1995. Consequently the Centre ceased to exist from this date (file 880435). Controlling Organisation: UNSW - 14/09/1988-31/12/1995

This series contains files relating to administration and exhibitions held at the Kudos Gallery, Paddington. The exhibition files may include Artists' application forms; media releases; attendance statistics; price lists and general correspondence about each exhibition catalogue. Some folders include CDs - the contents of these have also been copied to the network drive. Kudos Gallery opened on 23 September 1998 in Paddington. It was run by the Student Association of the College of Fine Arts. The objective of the Kudos Gallery was to facilitate the curation of exhibitions spanning across all schools, these being the School of Arts, School of Design and Applied Arts, School of Art History Theory, and School of Art Education. Representatives from each school formed committee members of Kudos Gallery Exhibition Committee. In 2007 Arc@UNSW became the new student organisation for Kensington and COFA campuses of the University of New South Wales. Arc@UNSW continued the administration of the Kudos Gallery. The records for this series post 2004 are very incomplete.

On 28 November 1990 the Vice-Chancellor approved the initial proposal to establish the Centre for Minerals Engineering within the Faculty of Applied Science to take over much of the operations of the Department of Mineral Processing & Extractive Metallurgy. The final proposal for the Centre was then approved at the Vice-Chancellor's Advisory Committee meeting on 10 July 1991, before the Centre was finally formally approved by the Vice-Chancellor on 20 May 1992. The main aim of the Centre was co-ordinate and co-operate multi-school and multi-disciplinary teaching and research activities in mineral processing including extractive metallurgy within the Faculty of Applied Science. The first director of the Centre was Dr Tam Tran (file 911225). On 1 July 1997 the Acting Vice-Chancellor approved the disestablishment of the Centre effective from 30 Jun 1997 (file 911225).
