This series consists of two guest books or registers documenting visitors and guests of the Regents. Earliest entries include a calligraphy document and a photograph of the official procession on the occasion of the dedication of the State Education Building, 1912. The remainders of the entries in the first volume are typically of guests attending convocations of the University of the State of New York. The volume also includes photographs from the convocations, one of which depicts Albert Einstein at the time he received an honorary degree in 1936. The second smaller volume documents individuals and small groups of visitors to the Regents on miscellaneous occasions as well as to convocations.
