<p>Boyer has been publishing a monograph a year, roughly, on some aspect of the history of the University of Chicago. They’re each about 150 pages long (i.e., pretty substantial). There are probably 7 or 8 of them. Some of them cover a defined period, and some trace a theme (e.g., academic freedom, or fundraising) over several decades. I imagine they will wind up as chapters of a comprehensive history, although they are so focused that the comprehensive history they imply would have to be thousands of pages long.</p>
