Organized under the Chancellor's Office to handle news and information for the Texas Tech University system, the Office of News and Publications was the central clearinghouse for
publications produced for the system. It was also responsible for placing stories and sources in state and national media and for bringing more prominence to the system.
The office maintained subject files for research purposes, assisted in ascertaining accuracy of facts regarding the university, and provided editorial and technical work for production of various campus publications.
It also tracked articles on the university and its faculty, staff and facilities that appeared in nationwide newspapers and magazines. It also coordinated interviews and press conferences and aided in the
creation of media plans for major campus events.
The office was first called Public Information, followed by Information Services, and then University News and Publications. It was reogranized in the early 2000s and renamed the
Office of Marketing and Communications.
The various collections donated by this department over the years contain photographs, negatives, slides, contact sheets, and DVDs of images related to Texas Tech University.
The images document athletics, dormitory life, faculty, guest speakers, social life, music, theatre, campus views, architecture, classes, and a variety of other activities related to Texas Tech University.
