What to transfer to the Archives

The Archives is very interested in documenting administrative and teaching activities at the College.  While your department/program files may appear routine to you, please remember our desire to document the greater history of our institution.  The Archives collects documentation regardless of format: we curate paper, publications, electronic files and media, audio-visual material, posters, etc.    

Some examples below will give you a sense of information that the Archives would like to collect.  (Please also check the What to Weed section for material whose copy of record is archived by another office.)   

·        Meeting minutes: including minutes of any smaller committees in your department/program

·        History of your department/program: especially important if your department/program has undergone a shift in definition or emphasis

·        Faculty files (former faculty): publications, off-prints, correspondence, etc. (see also What to weed)

·        Grants: grant reports, documentation of smaller grants not documented through the Provost's Office (see also What to weed)

·        Syllabi: archiving of syllabi with the Archives has been uneven, we would like to review any syllabi in your files

·        Studies of majors: aggregate data re: characteristics, grades, etc.

·        Tracking of graduates: information regarding careers of graduating majors; this information may not be duplicated by the OCC or the Alumni Office

·        Department outreach and events: files re: lectures, seminar series, conferences, poetry readings, newsletters, etc.

Please note: Files transferred to the Archives will be moving into the Libraries' off-site storage facility, and will be warehoused and unavailable until we return to the new library facility in 2011.  If you think you'll need access to particular files before 2011, please keep them with you!
