This fonds consists of material related to external departmental reviews for the CENES department. Records include dossiers compiled by the department; schedules, correspondence, and memos for the review process; and annotated reviews and reports. Some records date from when the department was still named the Department of Germanic Studies and Russian and Slavonic Studies.

Fonds contains three series: Archaeology, German and Personal. Within each series, the material has been organized into subseries such as correspondence, subject files, manuscripts, papers and reports.
