Both paper and digital formats are accepted as transfers. You should collect, retain, and prepare for transfer any records representing your organization’s “story” that documents its mission, activities, and decision making.

Tip: It is good practice to assign historian duties to a member of your group. In addition to documenting your organizational or club history, the historian could be made responsible for collecting and transferring the appropriate records to Special Collections/University Archives.
Consider the following when preparing a records transfer.
Records collected by university archives
- Organizational histories
- Evidence of decision making
- Constitutions and bylaws
- Minutes and agendas
- Newsletters and publications
- Event planning records
- Promotional materials, including flyers and posters
- Photographs and albums about events
Records not collected by university archives
- Records with private or personally identifiable information
- Financial records, such as receipts
- Trophies and plaques
