Donating Materials and Transferring Records

Donations

If you wish to donate non-record materials, such as photographs, memorabilia, and publications to the University Archives, please complete a Donor Agreement Form for the University Archives' records.

University Records Transfer Guidelines

The university archives has created records retention schedules to serve as suggested guidelines for the management of departmental records.  Separate guidelines for administrative records, committee records, curriculum records, fiscal records, payroll & personnel records, student records, and unretained records have been developed to best address the recordkeeping needs of various university departments.  These guidelines provide retention and disposition suggestions for various types of specific records within these broad record categories.

In order to facilitate the process of transferring valuable university records to our archives, we have created the following documents.

  1. Records Inventory Worksheet and Instructions
  2. Records Transfer Form
When transferring records to our department, please consult these documents, along with our retention schedules, to ensure that your department’s records are managed soundly and efficiently.
