The Arboretum of the University of Central Florida, founded in 1983, is an arboretum and botanical garden in Orlando, Florida, USA. Covering 80 acres it contains more than 600 species of plants, including more than 100 bromeliads, in cultivated gardens.
The UCF Arboretum Scrapbook Collection is arranged in three series by format.
Series I: Scrapbooks, 1984-2003 contains ten scrapbooks related to the UCF Arboretum. The scrapbooks contain mostly photographs but also include related Arboretum articles, reports, pamphlets, and flyers.
Series II: Loose Materials, 1988-2000 holds photographs, articles, and scrapbook pages that were not placed in scrapbooks. These materials often show the same events as the scrapbooks and should be consulted for additional information.
Series III: Videos, 1980-1995 contains U-matic video cassettes on topics related to the arboretum.

This series consists of ten UCF Arboretum scrapbooks with the loose materials inside them placed in separate folders. Sorted chronologically, the scrapbooks include mostly photographs but also contain related Arboretum articles, reports, pamphlets, and flyers. The photographs are of construction of the Arboretum facilities, volunteers, activities with young visitors, Soldiers to Scholar activities, Spring plant sales, flowers, trees, and other plants.
This series contains materials that were boxed with the scrapbooks but had no container or organizational pattern. They include photographs and Arboretum texts. The photographs are of Arboretum events, activities with young visitors, volunteers, construction, flowers, trees, and other plants. These materials are associated with those found in the scrapbooks and the two series should be considered together.
This series contains six U-matic cassettes related to the UCF Arboretum. Since the equipment necessary for playing the cassettes is currently unavailable to us, the titles and dates written upon the cassettes provide the only description of their contents.
