The University Committee on the Use and Care of Animals (UCUCA) records consist of meeting minutes and agendas, annual reports, and animal facility inspections. The UCUCA works to ensure that all projects using animals at the University of Michigan are conducted in accordance with university guidelines and policies and federal law concerning laboratory animal welfare.
The Meeting Minutes and Agendas series (5.5 linear feet, 1979-2003) contains meeting minutes, agendas, and meeting materials. Meetings occur monthly, and these materials provide excellent insight into the management and administration of the UCUCA.
The Reports series (3.2 linear feet, 1979-2003) consists of reports made by the UCUCA to the University of Michigan Office of the Vice President for Research (OVPR) and federal agencies. Also included are inspection reports of the animal care facilities made by the USDA. The Reports series is an excellent place to find detailed information about the animal care facilities located at the University of Michigan and their functions.
