Custodial History
These materials were created by members of the Black Faculty and Staff Association (BFSA). The digitized materials were originally gathered by James Luyirika-Sewagudde a long-time member of the BFSA and Chico State employee for over forty-seven years. When Mr. Luyirika-Sewagudde retired in 2018, the BFSA materials were passed to Trayvon Robinson, the director of the Office of Equity and Inclusion. In 2021, Mr. Robinson donated the binder to the University Archives to be digitized, through a post-custodial arrangement.
