The Archives acquires the private papers of selected faculty members, administrators and alumni, as well as the records of independent student, alumni and employee organizations. The University Archives serves the institution in a public relations capacity by disseminating information about the development of the institution to interested individuals at the University and beyond, promoting academic research through the provision of reference and other services.
