The University Archives works to retain and preserve University records that have permanent historical or evidential value in documenting the University, it's schools, departments, and organizations, and it's people. All records of historical or permanent nature and are at least 25 years old are required to be reviewed by the University Archivist.

The University Archives does not store active administrative or operational business records, nor records scheduled for destruction. Off-site storage and destruction services are available through the University's contracted vendor, Access. If your department feels that it has historic University records stored off-site, please contact the University Records Manager before authorizing their destruction.

For more information about the Archives & Special Collections and its collections and services, please submit your inquiry using our Ask an Archivist feature.
