Introduction
This online edition of the Historical Register of Yale University succeeds the printed work of the same name, which the university published in three volumes: in 1939 (for the years 1701-1937), in 1952 (for the years 1937-1951), and in 1969 (for the years 1951-1968). The Historical Register Online (HRO) contains entries for every person who held a university appointment from Yale's founding in 1701 through the early 1980s. These entries were drawn from the three printed volumes as well as from information assembled in preparation for a fourth volume, which was never published.
Entries for appointments since 1970 will be supplemented in the Historical Register Online as resoures permit. Please submit any suggested additions and/or corrections to archives@yale.edu.
