On 8 July 1947 the NSW Government appointed a Developmental Council (under the chairmanship of the Minister for Education, the Hon R.J. Heffron, MLA) to establish the New South Wales Institute of Technology. The purpose of the Institute was to train scientists and technologists to meet the needs of the expanding economy. The Council met on 18 occasions between 27 August 1947 and 26 May 1949, during which time the name of the proposed body was changed to the New South Wales University of Technology. The major role of the Developmental Council had been preparation of a bill for an Act that passed though the parliamentary process in 1949. The Council had identified two unique features of the new University courses - some humanities component would be included, and practical industrial training would be a requirement. Premises of the Department of Technical Education were utilised until a site and buildings for the university were available. The first degree courses in Civil, Electrical, Mechanical and Mining Engineering commenced at Sydney Technical College in March 1948. (1) The Technical Education and University of Technology Act, 1949 (Act No 11, 1949) came into effect on 1 July 1949. It formally constituted the University as a body corporate, and consisting of the Council, the professors and other such classes of persons giving instruction within the University as may be prescribed and the graduate and under-graduate members thereof. (2) The objects of the University were (a) to provide facilities for higher specialised instruction and advanced training in the various branches of technology and science and in their application to industry and commerce; and (b) to aid by research and other suitable means the advancement, development and practical application of science to industry and commerce. (3) The University was managed by a Council of up to 30 members, (4) who were appointed by the Governor for periods of up to four years. The principal officers of the University were the President, Vice-President and Director. The Council was appointed on 5 July 1949 (5) and held its inaugural meeting the following day. The first by-laws were adopted on 12 September 1949, which included provision for the formation of the Professorial Board in the following year. (6) Building on the University's site at Kensington commenced in October 1949. (7) Finance was allocated for the building program by the New South Wales University of Technology (Construction) Act, 1951 (Act No. 35, 1951). The buildings authorised under the Act included a 3-4 storey permanent brick building to accommodate the schools of Physics, Chemistry, Mathematics, Mechanical Drawing and Design, Geology and Mineral Engineering together with administrative offices, lecture theatre and cafeteria and 13 steel clad aluminium buildings to accommodate the School of Chemical Engineering, furniture, equipment and services for these buildings, access roads and other necessary site works. (8) The first graduates of the University were awarded their degrees on 15 March 1952. Thirty-four degrees were presented to graduates at a ceremony held at Great Hall, University of Sydney. The structure of the Council was altered by the Technical Education and New South Wales University of Technology (Amendment) Act, 1955 (Act No. 8, 1955). The Council was increased to a maximum 39 members and the titles of President, Vice President and Director were replaced by those of Chancellor, Deputy Chancellor and Vice-Chancellor. The University of New South Wales Act, 1958 (Act No. 24, 1958) altered the name of the University to the University of New South Wales and added a third object to that of the principal Act. ' c) to provide instruction and carry out research in the disciplines of humane studies and medicine and such other disciplines as the Council may from time to time determine.' (9) The University of New South Wales Act, 1961 (Act No 49, 1961) increased the Council to 40 members (10) and set in place an annual budget allocation from the NSW Government following the submission of a budget from the University. (11) Existing legislation was consolidated by the University of New South Wales Act, 1968 (No 37, 1968). Under the University of New South Wales (Amendment) Act, 1970 (No 75, 1970) the number of Council members was again enlarged to a total of 43. The University of New South Wales (Amendment) Act, 1978 (Act No 170, 1978) added to the Council one member elected by the non-academic staff of the university. The University's Constitution was altered to transfer responsibilities to the Minister including making nominations to the Council and authorising disposal of real property. In 1984 and 1985 two University of New South Wales (Amendment) Acts (Act No. 15, 1984 & Act No. 81, 1985) were passed. The former regulated the type of investments that Council was permitted to undertake for the University, while the latter decreased the number of Council members to 29. In 1988 the Professorial Board was replaced with a reorganised Academic Board. This was followed in 1989 by a restructure of Council under the University of New South Wales Act, 1989 (No. 125, 1989), where the number of Council members was reduced to 21 and its terms of reference revised. The 1949 Act had given the Council the power to create colleges or branches elsewhere within New South Wales. The first of these was established at Newcastle in 1951. The Broken Hill Division was formed in 1959, while Wollongong University College was founded in 1962. On 1 January 1965, Newcastle was granted its autonomy and became the University of Newcastle. On 1 January 1975 Wollongong likewise attained the status of the University of Wollongong. In 1981 the termination of operations at Broken Hill was commenced, with the final graduation ceremony occurring in 1985. On 10 July 1967 an agreement was signed between the Department of the Army and the University to form the Faculty of Military Studies. The Faculty provided the opportunity for cadets at the Royal Military College at Duntroon to attain University degrees. On 7 May 1981 a new agreement was made between the Australian Government and the University to create a University College within the Australian Defence Force Academy. The College began operations on 1 January 1986. In 1969 the Australian Government created a Committee of Inquiry into Postgraduate Education for Management, under Dr Richard Cyert. In March 1970 the Committee recommended that a 'national graduate school of management be established at the University of New South Wales'. On 23 August 1973 the Government decided to initiate this proposal and the Australian Graduate School of Management was formed. Teaching began at the School in 1977. In 1998 the Australian Graduate School of Management merged with the University of Sydney's Graduate School of Business to form a joint university Australian Graduate School of Management. On 1 January 1990, as a consequence of the Higher Education (Amalgamation) Act 1989, two sections of the Sydney College of Advanced Education - the City Art Institute and St George Institute of Education (both previously a part of Alexander Mackie College) - were integrated with the University. On 2 December 1996 the decision was made to close St George campus, with the premises being vacated by the University in January 1999. The Faculties of the University were formed in the following order: Engineering, Science, Architecture/Built Environment, Humanities & Social Sciences, Technology/Applied Science, Commerce/Commerce & Economics, Arts/Arts & Social Sciences, Medicine, Law, Military Studies, Biological Sciences/Biological & Behavioural Sciences, Professional Studies, College of Fine Arts, Life Sciences and Science & Technology.

The proposal for an Aboriginal Law Research Unit within the Faculty of Law was initially discussed at the 4 February 1981 meeting of the Vice-Chancellor's Advisory Committee. Final approval for the establishment of the Unit was given by the Vice-Chancellor on 23 April 1981. The first Chair of the Unit's steering committee was Professor Garth Nettheim (file 034796). The initial functions of the Unit included conducting and fostering research concerning Aboriginal people and the law; the building of a resource base on such issues; publications; clearing-house and co-ordination activity; conference and seminar activity; the development of educational programs; 'back-up' support on legal issues to Aboriginal communities and organisations and their legal advisers; developing links with comparable bodies in other countries (S690). At the 12 February 1986 meeting of the Vice-Chancellor's Advisory Committee, the creation of an Aboriginal Law Centre was approved to take over the role of the Aboriginal Law Research Unit. Professor Garth Nettheim was appointed Director of the Centre. The Centre's aims were defined as a continuation of the Unit, focused within the following objectives: research; resources; publication; conferences & seminars; and teaching. It would be managed by the Director, who is responsible to the Dean of the Faculty of Law [034796]. The "resources" objective was removed following the 10 May 1997 meeting of the Centre's Advisory Committee, due to the development of the more appropriate Aboriginal Research and Resource Centre. The ARRC became the recipient of the Aboriginal Law Centre's resource collection once this objective was deleted. Professor Nettheim was also Chair of the Management Committee. At the 28 February 1991 meeting of the Management Committee, Professor Nettheim suggested that this body be renamed as an Advisory Council. It would meet less often, with a more strategic focus, and another Management Committee would be formed with a smaller membership that dealt with operations. This proposed structure was finalised in July and implemented in 1992. Also at the 28 February 1991 meeting, Professor Nettheim proposed to step down from his role as Director. John Halden "Hal" Wootten QC was appointed as a replacement from 1 August 1991, for a term of three years, but he only appears in the following year's Annual Report in this role. Wootten continued on the Management Committee, although no longer holding a position or office within the Committee. Nettheim resumed as Director. On 17 May 1995, Nettheim announced he not be able to continue in the role after 1995, due to the position expanding to the extent that a full-time Director was needed and the role was, at that point, unfunded [S2410]. George Villaflor stepped into the role for the last half of 1995 (and subsequently produced a Report on the Centre with recommendations in June 1996) but the minutes of the Faculty of Law 21 August 1996 note that Nettheim has again resumed the Director position. Peter Brock began as Co-ordinator of the Centre in January 1997. Nettheim continued as Director, but appears to have delegated management of operations to the newly created part time Co-ordinator role. Brock wrote to Deputy Vice-Chancellor Chris Fell on 8 May 1997 to seek approval for an expanded membership of the Advisory Committee of the Centre, greatly increasing representation across the law and Indigenous communities. This was in light of the recommendations in the "Centre Review Report" conducted by UNSW in November 1996 [034796]. The Management Committee agreed at the 19 February 1997 meeting to change the name of the Centre to the more inclusive "Indigenous Law Centre". The Advisory Committee approved the change at the 10 May 1997 meeting, and on 4 November 1997 the Academic Board gave its endorsement (resolution AB97/142). This was approved by the Vice-Chancellor on 11 November 1997. The Aboriginal Law Bulletin [S852] was produced by the Centre since its inception, with the first issue appearing in August 1981. The name was changed to the Indigenous Law Bulletin (in line with the Centre's name change) for the April 1997 issue. Aboriginal Law Notes was a newsletter produced by the Centre from July 1982 to October 1990. The Management Committee considered changing the Law Notes to a insert for the Law Bulletin prior to its final issue [20 September 1990]. The first issue of the Australian Indigenous Law Reporter was launched in November 1995, funded by the Law Society of New South Wales, and International Business Communications Pty Ltd (subsequently Prospect Media Pty Ltd). An Editoral Panel was convened for this project, and some staff worked in common across the quarterly Reporter and the more frequent Bulletin. During the 1990s, the Centre produced community education kits related to the landmark moment in Indigenous law, native title, following the High Court decisions in Mabo v Queensland (No 2) (1992) and Wik Peoples v Queensland (1996). A Community Education sub-committee was established in 1994, initially comprised of Garth Nettheim, Susan Varga and Jason Behrendt [S2410]. It is unclear how long he held the position, but Mick Dodson was Director for at least two years, from 1998 to 2000. Megan Davis was Director from 2006 to 2016. As of 2018, Dr Kyllie Cripps was Acting Director and Dr Leon Terrill was Research Director, The Steering Committee provided guidance to the directors. Controlling Organisation: UNSW - 23/04/1981-

The position of Director was established by the Technical Education & New South Wales University of Technology Act, 1949, which came into effect on 1st July, 1949 (Act No. 11, 1949) and Arthur Denning was first appointed to this post (Council meeting 6th July, 1949, resolution 2). Under part 5 of the University Regulations, it was designated that: 1.The Director shall be the chief executive officer of the Council and shall be specially charged with the duty of promoting the interests and furthering the development of the University. 2.The Director shall, under the Council, subject to the by-law and to any resolution of the Council - a) manage and supervise the administrative, financial and other activities of the University b) consult with and advise the Professorial Board, and all other University Boards, Faculties, Committees, Professors and other Heads of Departments c) exercise supervision over the discipline of the University, with power, in the case of students, to impose penalties in accordance with academic usage for breach of discipline or for misconduct of any kind d) give effect to the by-laws and to any resolution or report passed or adopted by Council e) perform such other duties as may time to time be assigned to him by the Council At first the Directorship was not a full-time position and all administration was run by the Department of Technical Education, which meant that the Director had few staff directly assisting him in the conduct of University business. From 1st January, 1953, however, the position of Director was made full-time (Council meeting 10th November, 1952, resolution 255a), with Professor J. P. Baxter taking up this role (Council meeting 8th December, 1952, resolution 259). On 1st July, 1954 the University was also given its autonomy from the Department, resulting in the creation of the Administration within the University (Council meeting 10th May, 1954, resolution 427-3a). From 4th March, 1955 the position of Director was replaced by that of Vice-Chancellor, under the Technical Education & New South Wales University of Technology (Amendment) Act (No. 8, 1955). It is unclear as to exactly when those staff directly assisting the Vice-Chancellor became known as the Vice-Chancellor's Unit. On 9th May, 1960, however, Council created the position of Administrative Officer, Vice-Chancellor's Unit (resolution 60/34), indicating that the Unit must have been in existence by this point. Following a review of the Central Administration, the Vice-Chancellor's Unit became the Vice-Chancellor's Division from 1st January, 1988. By 1995 this had been altered again to the Office of the Vice-Chancellor. In August, 2004 the Vice-Chancellor was Professor Mark Wainwright, with the Office of the Vice-Chancellor consisting of seven other staff members.

Full title from import file: Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Academic Affairs) (1991) / Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic Affairs) (1991 - 2000) / Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic Planning & Resources) (2000 - 2001) / (Education & Enterprise) (2001 - 2003) / (International & Education) (2003 - 2004) / (International) (2004) / (International & Development) (2004 - 2006) </import_note> The first Pro-Vice-Chancellor was Professor D. W. Phillips, who was appointed at Council's 14 November 1955 meeting (resolution 652). At the 12 March 1956 meeting of Council it was determined that the Pro-Vice-Chancellor's responsibilities were to: a) generally assist the Vice-Chancellor in the discharge of his duties as the Vice-Chancellor may from time to time arrange and act for the Vice-Chancellor in his absence b) in particular, deputise for the Vice-Chancellor at the latter's request in chairing meetings of Advisory Panels and Selection Committees and on public occasions within the university c) exercise the following financial delegations (resolution 720). On 8 May 1961 a second Pro-Vice-Chancellor position was established by Council with Professor R. H. Myers being appointed to the position (resolution 61/59). Up until 1991, the two Pro-Vice-Chancellor positions appear to have been only distinguished as either being the first Pro-Vice-Chancellor and second Pro-Vice-Chancellor position. From 16 September 1991, however, one position became known as the Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Research & Development) and the other as the Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Academic Affairs) (Focus 23 August 1991). The title of both Pro-Vice-Chancellor positions was changed to Deputy Vice-Chancellor at the Council meeting on 4 November 1991. As part of a restructure following the departure of Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Development) on 31 January 2000, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic Affairs) position was re-named Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic Planning & Resources) effective from 1 February 2000 (file 990894). At the 4 April 2001 Executive Group meeting the name of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Academic Planning & Resources) was changed to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (Education & Enterprise). On 16 April 2003 the name of this position was changed to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (International & Education) (file 2003/0773). From 7 January 2004 the name of this position was altered again to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (International) (SRF - Organisation & Management). When the Division of Institutional Advancement was disestablished at the 11 October 2004 Council meeting (resolution CL04/154), all staff from this division were transferred to the portfolio of the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (International). Consequently the position was re-named the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (International & Development) (news@unsw 2 November 2004).\r\nOn 21 June 2006 Vice-Chancellor Fred Hilmer outlined a new Senior Management Group structure, which made the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (International & Development) position redundant. With the new group in place on 29 September 2006, the Deputy Vice-Chancellor (International & Development) position effectively ceased to exist from this date (SRF - Organisation & Management).

The Professional Development Centre was created out of the Executive Review of the Tertiary Education Research Centre (TERC) in October 1988, with the Staff Development Unit within the Division of the Deputy Principal & Registrar and the Tertiary Education Research Centre being combined to form the new Centre. A Staff Development Advisory Committee was formed in January 1989 to oversee the transition period (Focus 12 May 1989: 3) and the first time that the name Professional Development Centre was used in official publications was in Focus on 12 May 1989. The Acting Director (and soon afterwards Director) was Associate Professor David Boud, who reported to the Deputy Vice-Chancellor Jarlath Ronayne (file 860333). PDC coordinated and delivered staff development activities to all staff within the university and undertook relevant research. (Professional Development Centre Prospectus 1992: 2 V821) From 1 September 1990 the reporting lines for the Professional Development Centre were adjusted to the Pro-Vice-Chancellor Tony Wicken (Focus 10 August 1990). From 16 September 1991 this position became known as the Pro-Vice-Chancellor (Academic Affairs) (Focus 23 August 1991). The title of the Pro-Vice-Chancellor's position was changed to Deputy Vice-Chancellor at the Council meeting on 4 November 1991. On 6 May 1991 Council adopted the UNSW Staff Development Policy which encouraged all staff to engage in staff development activities for their own benefit as well as the university. (resolution CL91/25) The Centre was restructured as a result of the Working Party on Chancellery Services & Administrative Support Technology and the subsequent Staff Development Working Party, which recommended that the Professional Development Centre be disestablished and an Educational Development & Technology Unit (EDTU) be established. This was endorsed by the Vice-Chancellor on 14 December 1998 via the UNSW 2000 Implementation Minute 96. Controlling Organisation: UNSW - 26/10/1988-14/12/1998

This series consists of the Annual Reports of the Centre for Medical Education, Research and Development (1973 - 1983) / School of Medical Education (1983- ). Each item is a typed, paper-bound volume on the happenings, research and changes within the Centre / School throughout each year.

The Cornea & Contact Lens Research Unit began work as a unit within the School of Optometry in the Faculty of Science in 1976 and was formally established the following year. Its inaugural Director was Associate Professor B. Holden. The Unit carried out research projects with staff and students, employed research assistants from the School of Optometry from 1979, and provided programs in continuing and clinical education. On 8 August 1984 the Vice-Chancellor's Advisory Committee formally established the unit as a research centre within the university. The aim of the unit was to coordinate and develop postgraduate teaching and research projects in the area of the cornea and the role and effects of extraocular devices on the anterior eye (file 840739). At the 2 December, 1996 meeting of Council the Faculty of Science was disestablished effective 1 July, 1997 (resolution CL96/88/4). As a result, from this date the Cornea & Contact Lens Research Unit was transferred to the newly created Faculty of Science & Technology. On 18 June, 2001 Council resolved to disestablish the Faculty of Science & Technology and create a new single model Faculty of Science effective from 1 July, 2001 - including the Cornea & Contact Lens Research Unit. At the same meeting, the name of the school was changed to become the School of Optometry & Vision Science within the new faculty with effect from the same date (resolutions CL001/49 & CL001/50b). On 9 December 2003 the Cornea & Contact Lens Unit was disestablished by the Head of the School of Optometry & Vision Science (file 2004/0280-01).
