Following service in the libraries of the University of Toronto and the University of Manitoba from 1954-1959, McFadden found employment at Brandon College/University, first as a Librarian (1959-1969) and then as Director of Library Services (1969-1977). In the late 1970s, McFadden became the University Archivist. She held this post until her retirement in 1997. She is a former president of the Brandon Council of Women and a former councillor of the Canadian Library Association. Eileen McFadden continued to live in Brandon until her death on August 24, 2001.

Her first assignment was librarian to Inter-University of the North (IUN) and later she assumed the position of Head of Technical Services. Nichols was appointed Director of Library Services in 1983; she held the position until a few months before her sudden death on March 17, 1989. *In the interim between Nichols and Bazillion, various members of the Library staff informally held the position of Director of Library Services, until Meir Serfaty, then Vice-President (Academic and Research) assumed the position.

In 1990, he became the University Librarian at Brandon University, as well as an adjunct faculty member in the Department of History.

History / Biographical
The University Calendar is the authoritative statement of the institutional structure, faculty and staff, and academic program of Brandon University. Since the creation of the College in 1900, calendars have been produced annually, with only a few exceptions, by the Registrar's Office. Up until 1991-1992, the calendar was called the general calendar. In 1991-1992, it was called the undergraduate general calendar. Beginning in 1992, the calendar was produced every two years instead of annually, except for 1998-1999, until 2003. The 1992-1994 calendar contains both the undergraduate and graduate general calendars, and starting in 1994 a separate undergraduate and graduate calendar was produced.
Custodial History
The Brandon College/University calendar was produced by the Registrar's Office. Individual copies of the calendar were held by the Registrar's Office until their transfer to the University Archives.
Scope and Content

It has been divided into three sub sub series, including: (1) Calendars - bound archival copies; (2) Calendars - researcher's copies; and (3) Calendars - miscellaneous.
