The Alumni Association of the Technical University of Nova Scotia was formed in 1920 under president R.R. Murray to promote a feeling of unity and loyalty to the College, and to raise funds for the College. Alumni were represented on the Board of Governors as of 1923. Reunions were held in 1937, 1947, 1959 (50th anniversary celebrations) 1964, 1979, 1984 (diamond jubilee) and 1994. Alumni News was first published in 1945. Alumni branches were established first in Montreal, Toronto and Ottawa, then worldwide. The Association was governed by an elected Executive Committee and administered by the Department of Alumni Affairs.

Public Relations

Series consists of files, photographs, audio and video recordings created or collected by the Public Relations office, which document activities of Nova Scotia Technical College and Technical University of Nova Scotia, primarily from the 1980s and 1990s. Public Relations was a Section within the Department of Community Relations. Public Relations promoted Nova Scotia Technical College and Technical University of Nova Scotia through press releases, events, publicity material and providing information. Public Relations also documented events, faculty, staff and students in order to provide photographs and audio and visual recordings for publications and research.

Convocations through the 1990s are fully documented through photographs, audiocassettes, videocassettes and programmes. Construction of campus buildings is well- documented in photographs. The photographs are a visual record of many of the events, people and buildings of Nova Scotia Technical College/Technical University of Nova Scotia/DalTech. Many photographs are labelled; however many others have little identifying information. Some contextual information can be gained by looking for similar images in the publication Tech Flash. All of the photographs in this series may not have been acquired or filed as Public Relations records, but if they did not appear to be created by any other department, they were kept with all other photographs. All photographs and audiovisual material are described in a separate database.
